Disaster Recovery
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity; something that all businesses, no matter what their size or nature of business, need to take seriously.
We're not just talking about catastrophes such as fire or flood (although these are important) but some far more frequent occurrences. Consider the following:
- Equipment failure (such as a hard drive failing)
- Accidental deletion of data
- Malicious deletion of data
- Loss of Internet Connectivity
- Loss of email
- Loss of Telephone services
- Catastrophic damage to equipment and/or office (e.g. fire, flood, vandalism etc.)
The key thing here is to analyse the possible risks and mitigate them as much as possible. The main risks for most businesses revolve around the loss of data and the interruption to normal business and the impact these would have on normal operation - and the bottom line!
The solutions don't necessarily have to be complicated or expensive - often the solutions are quite simple and easy.
