Can Replica shards be used for Disaster Recovery

Hi,
We don't have backup in our cluster.
Can we you replicas for disaster recovery purpose..?

Elasticsearch version: 8.12

Thank you...!

Can you give more context about what kind of disaster recovery you are thinking?

If you lose a node that has primary shards, a replica shard in another node will be promoted to primary and the cluster will try to allocate a new replica shard in a different node.
