Data
backup is vital to the survival of any
company, large or small.
Everyone needs some kind of disaster
recovery plan, even if it is simple. Where
would you be if you lost your files and
email? What if this happened to your entire
company?
BDR (Backup / Disaster Recovery) is the
process an organization uses to recover
access to their software, data, and/or
hardware that are needed to resume the
performance of normal, critical business
functions after the event of either a
natural disaster or a disaster caused by
humans. While Disaster Recovery plans often
focus on bridging the gap where data,
software, or hardware have been damaged or
lost, one cannot forget the vital element of
manpower that composes much of any
organization. A building fire might
predominantly affect vital data storage;
whereas an epidemic illness is more likely
to have an affect on staffing. Both types of
disaster need to be considered when creating
a BDR Plan.
Disaster Recovery Plans are generally part
of a larger, more extensive practice known
as Business Continuity Planning. BDR plans
should be well practiced so that the key
players are familiar with the specific
actions they will need to take should a
disaster occur. BDR plans must also be
adaptable and routinely updated, e.g. if new
people, a new branch office, or new hardware
or software are added to an organization
they should promptly be incorporated into
the organization's disaster recovery plan.
Companies must consider all these facets of
their organization as well as update and
practice their plan if they want to maximize
their recovery after a disaster.
