Businesses of all sizes rely on information technology as a crucial component of their day-to-day operations. Because data availability is a top priority, the need for companies to compile a thorough disaster recovery plan is essential.
According to Info-Tech Research Group, however, almost 60% of North American businesses do not have a disaster recovery plan in place to resume IT services in case of crisis - a recipe for possible business failure. Faulkner Information Services found that 50% of companies that lose their data due to disasters go out of business within 24 months, while the U.S. Bureau of Labor indicates that 93% are out of business within five years.
Ten Tips for Disaster Recovery Planning:-
- Devise a disaster recovery plan
- Monitor implementation
- Test disaster recovery plan
- Perform off-site data back-up and storage
- Perform data restoration tests
- Back-up laptops and desktops
- Be redundant

- Consider hiring a managed services provider

With IT departments working in reactive mode DRP will be neglected.
