Multi-region snapshot copies
Why multi-region snapshot copies add redundancy and disaster-recovery options beyond a single data center.
Beyond a single site#
Keeping only live replicated data in two regions is useful, but snapshot streams can add a lightweight way to preserve history elsewhere — subject to your plan and compliance needs.
When it helps#
- Regional outage: a second region may still hold recent immutable copies.
- Operator error: separate blast radius from the primary volume’s administration.
- Recovery drills: predictable, replayable restore exercises from known points in time.
