Disaster Planning
Your company needs to be prepared for disasters. As
business owners along the gulf coast have found, a data
backup and disaster recovery plan is crucial. Without
such planning, the operation of your business may be
seriously impaired. Hurricanes, floods, and fire are not
the only disasters that can affect businesses. Equipment
malfunction, accidents, grievous acts, the list is almost
endless. You also don’t want to limit yourself to “what
do we do when disaster strikes?” There are steps that
can be taken for prevention as well that are just as
important as recovery after a disaster. Disaster recovery
planning is not 100% effective. However, proper
planning can help reduce the risks to your business data.
MBros Tech can help you through the process of
planning, implementation, and recovery.
Disaster Plan Key Points:
Backups - Proper backup solutions and off-site backup
storage locations are the backbone of disaster
recovery. Backups provide data redundancy
and are necessary for any recovery efforts.
Technology components - Determine which technology components are
necessary to run your business. This may
include servers, workstations, printers, and
network components. Having your needs
clearly defined will help the recovery process.
Off-Site Planning - It's important to select an off-site location to
store backups and to provide an alternative
operations center if your main site is disabled.
Disaster Testing - Disaster recovery testing is imperative to a
successful disaster recovery plan. These plans
must be routinely tested to ensure that the key
players in the plan are prepared and aware of
the procedures. Testing also provides an
opportunity to find and fix any issues you may
have.
Documentation - Every disaster recovery plan needs well
documented procedures. This documentation
provides a guideline for the backup and
recovery process and improve efficiency.
