 ## Disaster Recovery setup
-Disaster Recovery scenarios or Cross-Region Replication scenarios are supported with Azure Files Premium SMB. All data in Azure Files Premium SMB directories can be continuously synchronized to a DR region storage account using [this link.](/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-files#synchronize-files) After a Disaster Recovery event and failover of the ASCS instance to the DR region, change the SAPGLOBALHOST profile parameter to the point to Azure Files SMB in the DR region. The same preparation steps should be performed on the DR storage account to join the storage account to Active Directory and assign RBAC roles for SAP users and groups.
