What is Disaster Recovery?
Disaster Recovery is a crucial aspect of IT systems that support critical business functions. While some in the IT world may refer to Disaster Recovery as Business Continuity, the two terms are not interchangeable. Disaster Recovery is a vital component of a well-formed business continuity plan. It’s crucial to have contingency plans in place to ensure that your business can survive a critical system outage or a natural disaster. Even minor outages can be costly, and having a plan in place to return to normal operations can save your business money, time, and reputation.
Recovery Strategies
It is important to create recovery strategies for all the critical systems, applications, and data. This includes networks, servers, desktops, laptops, wireless devices, data, and connectivity. We should also identify the technology resources that are needed to support time-sensitive business functions and processes. The recovery time for any critical system should match the recovery time objective for the business to minimize its impact as much as possible.
