Hello,
I would like to ask if there is a manual for setting up a local implementation of the IFS Cloud environment. Will I need to install all updates and deliveries? What about the database and its structure? The purpose of this setup is to create an instance for disaster recovery.

Local installation IFS CLOUD - disaster recovery

With a local installation, yes because you will need to maintain the codeline the same in both environments. With an Azure replication environment, no because it replicates at the VM level.
+18The IFS Technical Documentation - which should be deployed as part of your current IFS Cloud install - has full details about how to install/deploy an IFS environment in general. That said, if you wanted to create an on-premise version for disaster recovery purposes I’m not sure how often you will be cloning the data from cloud to on-prem… without that you’ll have an environment but it may not be much use to you.
Depending on how/where your IFS Cloud environment is hosted you might find that implementing e.g. Azure redundancy with an on-prem redundant environment will give you what you’re looking for, and it will mean you won’t have to handle the detailed IFS setup since it replicates the VMs as a whole from Azure to on-prem hardware and it will inherently account for data updates at the DB level.
HTH,

Hi
Referring to your answer—in both cases, after creating the local environment, will I have to install all deliveries and release updates?
