What is backup copy and offsite backup copy?

question Answer

Backup copy is a feature which can be used to make duplicate versions of your backup data to secondary storage or location. The copied data is usually of the same version, size and type of your original backup data, and can be used to restore the backup data from any accidental deletion and corruption.

With Vinchin Backup & Recovery, you can copy your backup data to an onsite copy storage or to an offsite copy storage (offsite copy storage is a Vinchin Backup Server installed on remote site). 

The onsite backup copy data can be used to restore VMs directly if you have lost both the production data and backup data. 

If you had configured offsite backup copy, even if you have lost all data on primary site, the VMs can be restored on remote site to bring back the production VMs on the remote site virtual platform. 

Or after the primary site had been rebuilt, the offsite copy data can be restored back to the primary site Vinchin Backup Server for restoring production VMs and data on primary site.

As a conslusion, you can achieve offsite DR (Disaster Recovery) by using offsite copy feature of Vinchin Backup & Recovery.
