{: #satellite-architecture-bcdr}

As described in [Business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) overview](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/framework-financial-services?topic=framework-financial-services-shared-bcdr&format=markdown), BCDR is important for all cloud-based applications. You will learn about specifics of BCDR in the Satellite reference architecture.

See the [Disaster recovery](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/satellite?topic=satellite-responsibilities&format=markdown#disaster-recovery) section of Satellite for more information.

## Backup and disaster recovery for IBM Cloud services
{: #ibm-cloud-services}

In addition to backing up your workloads and being able to restore service in the face of a disaster, your BCDR strategy needs to consider all of the IBM Cloud services in your deployment. See [Backup and disaster recovery for IBM Cloud services](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/framework-financial-services?topic=framework-financial-services-shared-bcdr&format=markdown#ibm-cloud-services).
