Disasters happen in many ways and can disrupt or even completely destroy your business. Depending upon where you are located, disasters may be natural occurrences such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, snow storms or tornados. But, disasters may also result from random events including fires, power outages or surges, hardware failures and software/firmware errors, as well as human-caused events such as disgruntled employees or people with malicious intent looking to put your data at risk.
The key to Disaster Recovery data protection planning is understanding:
What data you need to protect
How current the files must be
How quickly you need to recover lost or damaged files
What level of risk you are willing to take.
How is your company addressing these issues today? What happens if and when disaster strikes? Do you have duplicate copies of your mission critical data stored offsite? How fast and reliable will your recovery of information be? Will your company survive?
