So why do you need additional copies of your data? In a disastrous incident it is expected that the data center or technology is gone and no longer functioning, so your basic responsibility is to restore the technology environment to an operational level within a prescribed timeframe. Remote data replication is the process of making a "copy" or backup of your data to a remote site.
Without this data you would have no historical data to process. Having a copy or replica of the data gives you the chance to at least pick up close to when you were impacted by the interruption, once the data is restored on comparable equipment. https://searchdisasterrecovery.techtarget.com/answer/Why-is-remote-data-replication-important-for-disaster-recovery-scenarios
What is Cloud Replication?
