What's the difference between backup and disaster recovery?

Data Backup Solutions keep recoverable copies of your data so you can restore files, mailboxes or databases after loss, deletion or corruption. Disaster recovery (DR) is broader — it's about getting your whole system or business running again after a major outage, often by failing over to replicated infrastructure. Backup answers "can I get my data back?"; DR answers "can I keep operating?". Most organisations need both.
