Hello,
I created a Recovery Services Vault with GRS. This allows us to enable 'Cross Region Restore'. Where can I find documentation that describes the differences between GRS and CRR?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Dieter

I found the answer I was looking for in your first link.
the data that is replicated to the secondary region is available to restore in the secondary region only if Azure declares a disaster in the primary region. With the introduction of this new feature, the customers who opt-in for this feature can initiate restores in the secondary region at any time.
GEO is only if Azure declares disaster
CRR is restore to secondary at any time
Thank you.
You are welcome!
