Building your disaster recovery plan.
Losing data on your personal computer is extremely frustrating. As annoying and time-consuming this type of data loss is, it is nothing compared to the losses that could be suffered by a business that has no IT disaster recovery plan in place. Losing digital data can be devastating for a business, with at least 90 percent of companies filing for bankruptcy after being without their data for more than 10 days. To protect your data, here are some tips on how to build a disaster recovery plan.
Inventory your assets. You need to know what tools you have and what impact they will have on your business if they go down. Your inventory needs to include services, storage devices, applications, data, network hardware, and network apps.
Identify your critical systems. There are some assets that your business needs to run smoothly. Yours might be different from another business in the same industry, so think about what your company really relies on. These are the systems you need to monitor most closely and prioritize in the event of a disaster.
Prepare for different disaster levels. There are many types and scales of disaster. Sometimes, just a small disaster can lead to a longer outage if organizations are not prepared. Your strategy should have different levels of response along with those employees who are responsible for implementing these steps.
Build a critical response team. A great recovery strategy is useless if there isn't a team to bring the systems back online. Everyone in your response team should know what they are responsible for and how best to work together to reach a solution.
