Disaster Recovery: Are you ready for trouble?
Computer World has an excellent article on Disaster Recovery.
Disaster Recovery is what you do when your business operations are interrupted by a disaster. It emcompasses a lot of ground, including getting IT functionality back up.
Jeff Russell, CIO at The Members Group: "It's impossible for a lone IT staffer to appreciate the particular needs of each department." All the business units need to be involved! They often aren't.
What's your companies plan when things go wrong? Hopefully there is one! Is it current? Has it been tested?
If you live by your laptop like many of us, do you have a plan to keep from being "dead in the water" if your laptop dies or gets lost/stolen? I'd recommend you have one!
What does Demopoulos Associates do for Disaster Recovery?? My needs are simple as I'm a one man shop, although I often use others on a per project basis. My Disaster Recovery Plan consists of frequent backups, backup media stored offsite, spare PCs and redundant Internet connections. And when I travel, I have backup copies of any critical business data with me. That may include Power Point presentations, directions, phone numbers, documents, and more.
