Disaster Recovery Planning

Disaster Recovery Planning

How many times have you heard one of these:

My hard drive crashed and I lost all of my e-mails, data, or programs
Our network got hit with a virus and it destroyed several computers
I was updating my Quickbooks when the computer froze and everything was gone

The sad part is that that these statements are all too common. For whatever reasons, we expect our computers and software to just keep running without a hitch. Computers are only machines and breakdowns will happen. Building a recovery plan will allow your business to return to the way it was before the disaster.

Any recovery plan must contain these basic elements:

System and/or data backups
Procedures for creating and maintaining the computer backups.
Discipline to keep performing these procedures.
Evaluation of the procedures in place to look for improvements.

Disasters and failures will happen. The key is the creation of a recovery plan to keep your business running when bad things happen. SWTC can help you build a recovery plan that fits your business, not a one-size-fits-all plan, but a plan that works for your needs and resources.
