+
+Cross-region backups are now available for Tiger Cloud services running on Microsoft Azure, joining the existing support on AWS. Enterprise plan customers can store an additional copy of their services' backups (weekly full backups, daily incremental backups, and the WAL log) in a different region from where the service runs.
+
+Standard backups are already stored across multiple Availability Zones within a region, which protects against most infrastructure failures. Cross-region backups add protection against the rare case of a region-wide event that takes all Availability Zones at once, by keeping a copy far enough away to remain accessible. This is often required to meet disaster recovery or regulatory requirements.
+
+To learn more, see [cross-region backup and restore](/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-azure/high-availability/backup-restore).
