Why Is a Disaster Recovery Plan Important?
Overview A business is impacted twice by a disaster: during the event itself and in the chaos that often follows. Thinking ahead and developing a plan before disaster strikes is the first step in ensuring business continuity. A disaster might occur on a national or worldwide scale, cutting your company off from its usual means of conducting business. Devising workarounds and contingencies could save your business. Data Access Being able to recover important business information such as sales figures and production data will put your business back on its feet faster. By being proactive, you will already have the means to access vital information if your computer system crashes due to a direct viral attack or because of a wider attack on government or business sites.
