About Disaster Recovery App Connector Groups
Disaster recovery App Connector groups are App Connector groups designated as available for disaster recovery to ensure business continuity in the scenario of a disaster event.
Disaster recovery App Connector groups provide the following benefits and enable you to:
- Ensure business continuity in the event of a disaster scenario that impacts the global Zscaler cloud infrastructure.
- Provide users with access to critical App Connectors during a disaster scenario.
After an App Connector Group is designated for disaster recovery, both configuration and binary snapshots are saved in the local configuration files on your App Connector and are used for backup purposes. The Zscaler cloud maintains up to 15 prior configuration snapshots and up to 5 prior binary snapshots, and updates both snapshots periodically. To learn more, see Understanding Disaster Recovery, Configuring App Connectors, and Managing Disaster Recovery Configuration and Binary Snapshots.
