HA and Live Backup are mutually exclusive. If you use one, you can't use the other. Live Backup is sometimes referred to as "DR" because it is intended to be used for disaster recovery, but disaster recovery is a more general concept and not restricted to any one specific technology or architecture.
Disaster Recovery as a general concept generally has levels depending on what you're trying to protect against. Are you trying to protect against a single server failure? A partial data center outage (eg, one rack, one row, etc)? A complete data center outage? A wide ranging major disaster that destroys all data centers in a geographical region?
HA will protect just fine against a single server failure assuming everything is configured correctly and you have sufficient ES nodes. It could protect against partial data center outages if you're careful about your placement of nodes. For anything further, you'd need to carefully consider the inter-node latency, as excessive latencies will cause performance issues. In this situation, taking ES backups and storing them in geographically dispersed locations would allow you to set up a new environment in another location without losing all of your data. Depending on your requirements that may be a sufficient DR plan as the kinds of wide-ranging disasters that would necessitate this are generally infrequent.
Live Backup doesn't have the same latency requirements so you can deploy the standby server further away without issue, assuming you still have sufficient bandwidth. If you use Live Backup, the standby server essentially *is* your disaster recovery plan - manually fail over to it, update any DNS etc that's required and your DR plan is fulfilled. It's not clear to me why you think you need more than a single Live Backup server to provide DR.
