Similar to the Azure NetApp Files [cross-region replication feature](cross-region-replication-introduction.md), the cross-zone replication (CZR) capability provides data protection between volumes in different availability zones. You can asynchronously replicate data from an Azure NetApp Files volume (source) in one availability zone to another Azure NetApp Files volume (destination) in another availability. This capability enables you to fail over your critical application if a zone-wide outage or disaster happens.

Recovery Point Objective (RPO) indicates the point in time to which data can be recovered. The RPO target is typically less than twice the replication schedule, but it can vary. In some cases, it can go beyond the target RPO based on factors such as the total dataset size, the change rate, the percentage of data overwrites, and the replication bandwidth available for transfer.

Recovery Time Objective (RTO), or the maximum tolerable business application downtime, is determined by factors in bringing up the application and providing access to the data at the second site. The storage portion of the RTO for breaking the peering relationship to activate the destination volume and provide read and write data access in the second site is expected to be complete within a minute.

Replicated volumes are hosted on a [capacity pool](azure-netapp-files-understand-storage-hierarchy.md#capacity_pools). As such, the cost for cross-zone replication is based on the provisioned capacity pool size and tier as normal. There is no additional cost for data replication.

You can also use a wide array of free tools to copy data. For NFS, you can use workloads tools such as [rsync](https://rsync.samba.org/examples.html) to copy and synchronize source data into an Azure NetApp Files volume. For SMB, you can use workloads [robocopy](/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/robocopy) in the same manner. These tools can also replicate file or folder permissions.

By default, your data stays within the region where you deploy your Azure NetApp Files volumes. However, you can choose to replicate your data on a volume-by-volume basis to available destination regions using [cross-region replication](cross-region-replication-introduction.md).
