What is Disaster Recovery?
In business, a computer disaster equals an event that halts the normal operation of day-to-day business activities. A disastrous event can involve
- system malfunctions
- operational errors
- virus attacks
- acts of nature
- accidents, or sabotage
Why is it important?
The result of such a disaster is that business stops – orders cease to be placed, accounting activities freeze, data is unavailable, electronic communications halt, and the company has no access to decision-critical information. All of these events cost companies revenue and may result in unrecoverable damage. A disaster and business continuance plan requires supplying a business with the tools necessary to recover data accurately and quickly after such a disaster. Any such continuance plan must be tailored to a client’s business needs. Recovery for some businesses must be instantaneous, with no perceived downtime. Very few can afford a downtime period longer than a few hours, and no company can afford the loss of critical information.
