Hi @nikita tiwari
To enable disaster recovery (DR) for an app service deployed manually without the code, consider the following risk factors:

• Without source code, redeploying the application during failover could be challenging, leading to extended downtime if the initial deployment fails.
•  Document all configuration settings, such as connection strings and environment variables, to replicate them in the DR environment. Missing configurations can cause application failures.
•  Ensure data synchronization between the primary and DR environments, especially if the application relies on a database or external services. This may involve setting up replication or backup strategies.
•  Be prepared for the complexity and time required to execute the manual recovery plan. Clear documentation of the steps can help streamline the process.
•  Regularly test the DR plan to identify gaps or issues in the recovery process, ensuring preparedness for an actual disaster.
•  Implement monitoring and alerting mechanisms to quickly detect failures in the primary environment, allowing for a faster response.
•  Ensure the DR setup complies with regulatory requirements and maintains necessary security measures to protect sensitive data.
