Windows 365 Disaster Recovery Plus

Microsoft announce that Windows 365 Disaster Recovery Plus is currently in preview and will be available in Spring 2025. Like the existing Windows 365 Cross Region Disaster Recovery capability it will be an Add-on licence for Windows 365 Enterprise. So, what’s the difference between these two options? Well, it’s all about how quickly your systems are back up and running and the maximum amount of data loss that’s acceptable. Windows 365 Disaster Recovery Plus improves on these metrics and you can find a useful table comparing the two licences on the announcement page here: https://bit.ly/4ie1pix.

Windows 365 Cross Region Disaster Recovery Add-on

Microsoft announce a business continuity service for Windows 365 to protect against regional outages. When activated, the service creates temporary copies of users’ Cloud PCs in alternative geographical regions, preserving installed applications, user settings, and data. The Windows 365 Cross Region Disaster Recovery Add-On license costs $5 per user per month and is currently only available for Windows 365 Enterprise users.
