ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Business continuance volume

Okay kiddo, let's imagine you have a toy box filled with all your favorite toys, but one day there's a big storm and your house floods. Your toys get all wet and you can't play with them anymore. That's sad, right?

Well, a business continuance volume is kind of like a backup toy box. Just in case the first toy box gets ruined, there's another one with copies of all your toys.

In the same way, a business might have important information and data that they can't afford to lose if something goes wrong, like a computer crash or a power outage. That's where the business continuance volume comes in. It's a second copy of all the important information stored somewhere else, so if something happens to the first copy, they can still access the information and keep the business running smoothly.

So, just like having a backup toy box, having a business continuance volume helps make sure that even if something bad happens, the important stuff is still safe and the business can keep going.
