# Prevention > Recovery: Physical cluster replication

## Summary

CockroachDB offers physical cluster replication, an asynchronous and consistent way to keep two clusters up to date with zero RPO and near-zero RTO. The replication process provides granular observability and control over data replication and allows for a defense-in-depth approach. Physical cluster replication offers significantly lower RPO and RTO compared to traditional backup and restore methods.
