**Business continuity** in Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Flexible Server refers to the mechanisms, policies, and procedures that enable your business to continue operating in the face of disruption, particularly to its computing infrastructure. In most of the cases, flexible server handles disruptive events happens that might happen in the cloud environment and keep your applications and business processes running. However, there are some events that cannot be handled automatically such as:

| **Automatic backups** | Flexible server automatically performs daily backups of your database files and continuously backs up transaction logs. Backups can be retained from 7 days up to 35 days. You are able to restore your database server to any point in time within your backup retention period. RTO is dependent on the size of the data to restore + the time to perform log recovery. It can be from few minutes up to 12 hours. For more details, see [Concepts - Backup and Restore](./concepts-backup-restore.md). |Backup data remains within the region. |

| **Zone redundant high availability** | Flexible server can be deployed with zone redundant high availability(HA) configuration where primary and standby servers are deployed in two different availability zones within a region. This HA configuration protects your databases from zone-level failures and also helps with reducing application downtime during planned and unplanned downtime events. Data from the primary server is replicated to the standby replica in synchronous mode. In the event of any disruption to the primary server, the server is automatically failed over to the standby replica. RTO in most cases is expected to be less than 120s. RPO is expected to be zero (no data loss). For more information, see [Concepts - High availability](./concepts-high-availability.md). | Supported in general purpose and memory optimized compute tiers. Available only in regions where multiple zones are available. |

| **Same zone high availability** | Flexible server can be deployed with same zone high availability(HA) configuration where primary and standby servers are deployed in the same availability zone in a region. This HA configuration protects your databases from node-level failures and also helps with reducing application downtime during planned and unplanned downtime events. Data from the primary server is replicated to the standby replica in synchronous mode. In the event of any disruption to the primary server, the server is automatically failed over to the standby replica. RTO in most cases is expected to be less than 120s. RPO is expected to be zero (no data loss). For more information, see [Concepts - High availability](./concepts-high-availability.md). | Supported in general purpose and memory optimized compute tiers. |

| **Premium-managed disks** | Database files are stored in a highly durable and reliable premium-managed storage. This provides data redundancy with three copies of replica stored within an availability zone with automatic data recovery capabilities. For more information, see [Managed disks documentation](../../virtual-machines/managed-disks-overview.md). | Data stored within an availability zone. |

| **Zone redundant backup** | Flexible server backups are automatically and securely stored in a zone redundant storage within a region if the region supports AZs. During a zone-level failure where your server is provisioned, and if your server is not configured with zone redundancy, you can still restore your database using the latest restore point in a different zone. For more information, see [Concepts - Backup and Restore](./concepts-backup-restore.md).| Only applicable in regions where multiple zones are available.|

| **Geo redundant backup** | Flexible server backups are copied to a remote region. that helps with disaster recovery situation in the event of the primary server region is down. | This feature is currently enabled in selected regions. It takes a longer RTO and a higher RPO depending on the size of the data to restore and amount of recovery to perform. |
3434
| **Read Replica** | Cross Region read replicas can be deployed to protect your databases from region-level failures. Read replicas are updated asynchronously using PostgreSQL's physical replication technology, and may lag the primary. For more information, see [Concepts - Read Replicas](./concepts-read-replicas.md).| Supported in general purpose and memory optimized compute tiers. |
