Solr/ZK DR recovery process in GCP VM query

Hi Team,

I have created a solr/zk setup using GCP VM in GCP Cloud. Below is the
setup.

Cloud: GCP, Region: us-east4, 6 GCP VM forms a solr/Zk cluster

   - 3 Solr nodes [ Each node is a separate GCP VM attached with separate
   PD SSD disk]
      - solr binaries & data are kept in PD SSD disk
   - 3 ZK nodes [ Each node is a separate VM and each GCP VM attached with
   2 PD SSD disk, [ 1 for data disk, 1 for datalog disk]]
      - Zk binaires and data kept in the PD-SSD disk
   - PD-SSD Disks are backed up using a snapshot schedule every day,  since
   we do ingest the data on the solr with daily frequency
   - Since we have snapshots available, We are able to recover the entire
   solr/zk cluster using the  latest snapshots if any DR process is initiated.

Question:

   1. If GCP cloud is offering a native solution to recover the solr/zk
   cluster from the disk snapshots, What will be the use case of solr offered
   native solution backup & restore
   <https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/deployment-guide/backup-restore.html>
   process?.
   2. Am I doing the right DR process setup for solr/zk in GCP Cloud?
