Backups vs. Disaster Recovery

February 22, 2012

Your company backs up regularly, right?  If you do, you are probably under the misconception that a good backup is all you need to recover in the event of a disaster.  Unfortunately this is not the case.  In the event of a server failure how would you access that backed up data until your server could be repaired (which quite often can takes days)?  How would 2 or 3 days of complete downtime impact your company?  What about a week?

Backups are simply not enough, your growing business needs a disaster recovery plan in place.  How will you access and make use of those backups if you don’t have functioning hardware to run them on?  These and other questions are vital to your business surviving even a minimal systems failure.
