Definition: A Recovery ABB is a technology service that enables the restoration of infrastructure, platforms, and services to an operational state after failures, cyber incidents, or disasters. It supports backup restoration, failover, and continuity mechanisms to ensure that digital public services can be resumed within defined recovery time and recovery point objectives.

By abstracting recovery capabilities from specific hosting environments, it allows Member States to implement disaster recovery and failover strategies in cloud, on-premise, or hybrid facilities while preserving service availability and cross-border service reliability. Additional information: Recovery focuses on restoring technical service availability after incidents. It complements but does not replace business-level continuity planning or application-level fault-tolerance, which are handled in higher architecture layers.
