If disaster strikes, where is your critical
information ?
If the worst happens, how fast can you
be
up and running again?
Disaster recovery is the most overlooked aspect of business strategy and
preparedness. Business owners never consider running an office without
comprehensive insurance. The risks are far too great
Yet, many of these same businesses lack a disaster recovery plan.
GeeksOnTime's IT Consulting group can help you remedy this.
What it actually means.
Disaster Recovery is about planning for the worst and hoping your
planning is never needed. It begins with documenting the critical
information your business needs to protect, reviewing your backup systems,
and creating recovery systems for failed servers and critical computers.
It means having clear documentation and reference points so that in the
case of a disaster, everyone knows how to access what they need. It means
having recovery plans in place so that as little down time is occuring as
possible.

Disasters Large and Small
Disasters like fire, flood and hurricane are obvious but even a server
crash or an email outage can be considered a disaster as well as it can take
out your business and lose revenue. Preparing for natural disasters
like fire and flood can help you be prepared for these smaller disasters as
well.
Disaster Recovery protects your businesses
Your business runs on information. Client data, supplier information,
legal documents, trade secrets, personnel files, tax info, and general
financial data can be compromised without disaster recovery procedures in
place. Lost downtime can cost $1000's or 10's of $1000's of dollars for each
day you are down. Ensure you have a disaster recovery plan in place.
