Fire, natural disaster, act of terrorism – data loss can come from any number of causes and as a result, the severity of the harm varies. A short-circuit leading to fire in a company may result in major loss of important data, software or hardware, while an epidemic may leave the entire staff unable to work.
A Disaster Recovery Plan should cover every aspect of risk to your business, but what we will cover here is specific to the life-blood of your business – your data, and the systems it is stored on. Your company needs to be prepared for all kinds of losses – business, data and human. The best approach to survive such disasters is to be prepared for them i.e. better safe than sorry.
