Backup and Disaster Recovery Center (BDRC) is an Alibaba Cloud enterprise disaster recovery service. It discovers cloud data resources through intelligent inspection, displays protection status with recommended solutions, enables centralized policy management, and generates custom compliance reports.

Data protection challenges
-
In large-scale environments, tracking protection status across all resources, identifying risks, and verifying policy compliance requires a unified analysis approach.
-
Without knowledge of native Alibaba Cloud protection mechanisms, critical data may remain unprotected and protection policies unplanned.
-
Different services use different protection mechanisms, making it difficult to view the overall disaster recovery architecture or audit protection. A centralized platform is needed.
Benefits
-
Dashboards show protection status across resources, with built-in reporting for centralized management, inspection, and auditing.
-
Business-oriented policies let you protect critical data without understanding complex underlying mechanisms.
-
Centralized management reduces learning costs and improves operational efficiency.

The data protection dashboard is divided into two parts. The left side shows two key metrics: Protection status score and Data protection risks. The score is rated for ECS, OSS, File Storage NAS, and Tablestore by using colors and stars. The risks section lists vulnerabilities and their scores for features like disk snapshots, cross-region replication, and backups. The right side of the dashboard displays a topology view of your resources and their protection status in a selected region.
