It
happens every day. A business owner faces the reality of a
serious data crash.
An
unfortunate fact is that 93% of all companies that experience a significant
data loss will go out of business within five years.
Do
you have a survivability plan in place?
Disaster recovery and business continuity is actually much more serious
than having a tape cartridge eject from the server's drive every day.
Is
the backup set covering everything required to get your business going
again after a failure? Has the restore process ever been tested? What
software would be needed to rebuild the server? Where is all of the
necessary license key information stored?
Conducting
a review of the critical data components of your company, and having
proper documentation of the steps required to recover from an episode
are important parts of a plan that can make the difference between a
quick recovery or a costly, long outage.
