    Hi Rahul,

    OneDrive is designed with high availability and disaster recovery in mind. Even if a regional disaster, like an earthquake in Bangalore, occurs, your data remains safe due to Microsoft’s geo-redundant storage. For India, data is typically replicated between paired regions (e.g., Pune and Chennai), ensuring minimal disruption.

    The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) for OneDrive is near zero, as data changes are replicated almost instantly. In most cases, you won’t lose any data, and access to your files will continue seamlessly.

    Hope this helps! Please mark this answer as accepted so it can benefit others as well.

    Regards
