About AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery
​AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) minimizes downtime and data loss by enabling rapid, reliable recovery of on-premises and cloud-based applications. It allows you to use AWS as a disaster recovery site for applications comprising physical and virtual servers, including databases. AWS DRS continuously replicates your source servers to a staging area subnet in your AWS account, utilizing cost-effective storage and minimal computing resources. In the event of a disaster, you can launch recovery instances on AWS within minutes, restoring applications to their most recent state or a previous point in time. The service also supports non-disruptive testing and failback to your primary site when needed. ​
