Disaster Recovery (DR) in IT is often used but incorrectly understood term. It is very important to have a Disaster Recovery strategy for every business. Many people believe that Data Backup equals Disaster Recovery.
So, let us understand the difference between Backup & Disaster Recovery.
ABackupis a copy of your data on another device or in another location.
Disaster Recoveryis different. If your Primary IT Site goes down for any reason, a Disaster Recovery Site will let you run your entire IT system until your primary environment is up. So, we see that it is very different as compared to Data Backup.
A sound backup strategy combined with the right approach to Disaster Recovery, means you have your Business Continuity covered.
5 Reasons Why You Need a Disaster Recovery Plan
1. Natural Disasters:
Storms, fires, and floods can all do irreparable damage to your business. Without adisaster recovery plan in place, you may find it extremely difficult to resume operations, putting the future of your company at risk.
2. Hardware Failure:
Whether from a power surge or other cause, if your hardware fails it can take all your data with it.
3. Human Errors:
No one is perfect, and that includes you and your employees. Forgetting to save changes, accidentally deleting an important document, or flipping the wrong switch could lead to a significant loss for your company.
4. Cyber Crimes:
Cyber Crimes are on the rise and most businesses are affected at some point. A virus or ransomware attack could hold your data hostage, grinding your business to a halt and causing massive losses. Your disasterrecovery plan should include steps to recover from a hacking attempt, keeping your data safe and accessible.
5. Customer Service:
