Remarkable & reliable disaster recovery that will supercharge your continuity planning.

Disaster recovery is an essential aspect of business continuity planning. It helps ensure that a company can recover from unexpected events such as natural disasters, cyber attacks, power outages, or hardware failures. A good disaster recovery plan should be comprehensive, reliable, and tested regularly to ensure that it will work when needed.

Imagine that you experience a hardware failure, resulting in data loss and creating downtime when you could be selling to your customers. Regardless of the cause, disasters can occur at any time. It pays off to think about your plan ahead so that your business is prepared to tackle any issues you may run into in the future.

There are several key elements to consider when developing a disaster recovery plan:

Data backup strategy:

It's crucial to regularly backup important data and store it in a secure location, so that it can be restored in the event of a disaster. This can include both physical backups (such as tapes, data centers or hard drives) and cloud-based backups/copies of your data. Cloud storage and physical storage both have their pros and cons regarding data protection. It will be important to assess what works best for your business based on your services, scale, and budget.

Disaster recovery site:

In the event of a disaster, it may be necessary to relocate employees and operations to a different location. A disaster recovery site should be set up in advance and equipped with the necessary infrastructure (such as computers, servers, and communication systems) to support business operations. 

Create a communication plan:

Part of the disaster recovery process after an unexpected event could involve your day-to-day communication methods being limited. It's important to have a clear and well-understood plan in place for how employees will stay in touch and communicate during a disaster. This can include using email, social media, text messaging, or other forms of communication.

Testing and maintenance:

A disaster recovery plan should include regular testing to ensure that it is reliable and effective. It should also be reviewed and updated regularly to keep pace with changing business needs and technology.

Overall, having a reliable and comprehensive disaster recovery plan in place can help ensure that your business can continue to thrive after unexpected events. Implementing a disaster recovery plan does take time and resources, but the cost of no plan could be much greater.
