zt_bak_003 — Recovery Services Vault has no cross-region restore

Summary

Severity: Medium · Pillar: Data · Chain role: ENABLER

Description

Cross-Region Restore (CRR) replicates recovery points to the paired Azure region automatically. Without it, a region-wide outage or accidental vault deletion leaves the workload with no restore target. CRR is free for GRS-storage vaults and must be explicitly enabled — it is not the default.
