Replication is a single step towards disaster recovery and complete business continuance. Business continuance being defined as what your "Recovery Time" and "Recovery Point" Objectives are.

RTO defines the time required to recover critical systems to a functional state.
RPO defines the point to which your data is protected when a incident occurs.

Whether you’re trying to protect databases or home directories, the threats to data availability and your RTO and RPO usually define the strategy you may use to maintain your systems and their data.

• logical outages like software bugs, data corruption and accidental deletes
• components outages like disk failure, switches and HBA's
• complete site outages like flooding, fire, power outages, etc.

Any one of these outages can risk data but to what point?
What risk are you willing to take to get your business back up and running to the point where an incident occurred?
How many minutes or hours of data cn you afford to lose forever?

The recovery strategy you choose depends on RTO and RPO you have defined for any particular critical application and its data. The “Tolerance vs. Cost” curve plays a large role in defining that RTO and RPO because it defines your Business Tolerance to an Interruption to the Cost of that Interruption.

The shorter the RTO and RPO are — the more critical the right strategy is.
