-===== Overview =====+A Disaster Recovery Strategy, referred to in TapeTrack as a "DR Strategy", is a list of [[object:volume|Volumes]] necessary to restore a system back to a given time in the event of catastrophic system failure. Typically, these DR Strategies are automated through TapeTrack Sync's integration with your back-up software; however, they can be manually created as well.
