What if your business floods and destroys your servers? Or you get to work only to find your system is down? Don’t wait for a disaster to happen to make a plan, be ready with this cheat sheet for creating your recovery plans.
Understand your data recovery needs
It’s important to recognize how your business would be affected by a disaster. Would your employees experience excessive downtime? How would your clients or customers be affected? What would you tell both your employees and customers to reassure them that your business’s recovery is underway? These are key questions to revise with your IT department to ensure that you’ll have quick response times to any IT disasters that could arise.
Know the risks
Natural disaster may seem improbable, but when they happen, there’s no way of knowing what the destruction will be. Having backup plans in place that range in severity is always a good decision. Whether it’s the accidental deletion of a file to complete system failure, you want to make sure you’re well prepared and can handle the situation quickly and efficiently.
Consider the impact of server failures
Assessing your data and understanding the impact system failure can have on your business is important when planning your disaster and recovery plans. What data is most critical for your business? How will you and your IT team respond to recover critical data? What are the chances of system failure and what is the estimated time for recovery?
