Statistics indicate nearly 50% of businesses will experience one or more data losses during their existence. Are you confident your firm won't be one of them? If you lost data or couldn't access it, how long would it take you to recover? Have you ever tested your solution to see if it works as expected?.

These are questions many business owners avoid asking themselves, preferring to trust that their backup solutions are reliable enough. In reality, disasters of all sizes—from fires or floods to server crashes—even spilled coffee on an important piece of equipment—are unpredictable, ruthless and unforgiving.

If you do not have a comprehensive disaster recovery strategy that manages and automates a robust backup process and is tested at least once a year in a mock disaster scenario, you are operating at an dangerous level of risk. Even companies that have a plan for returning to operation within an acceptable amount of time frequently miss the finer nuances of disaster recovery and business continuity planning.

• Does your solution allow selective recovery of individual files from anywhere in the world, in case a traveling employee loses one?
• Does your plan consider other variables, such as continuity of telecommunications?
• Can your plan double as a remote access solution if you cannot enter your building for some reason, or if you have employees working at home due to sick children or bad weather?

You may not need any of these enhanced features, but you should consider the potential of them all. Disaster Recovery Planning has many intangibles and covers much more than backup services. Developing a plan will often identify other business improvement opportunities and facilitate good asset management.
