Disaster Recovery
No one wants to contemplate the potential negative impact of disasters, and many business owners never think about it. They rely upon traditional backup solutions to provide business continuity after any outage—from a server crash to a natural disaster.

The hard truth is that most traditional backup systems aren’t optimized for today’s business needs, and they certainly aren’t disaster ready. Cloud-based backup services perform better for file-level restores, but when the time comes to ramp up a production server quickly, they are not up to the task.
Even among companies that maintain appropriate backups for disaster recovery, the majority are not managing or testing them well enough to ensure business continuity. The Disaster Recovery Preparedness Council reports that 73% of businesses globally are failing at their disaster recovery efforts.
With any disaster recovery program, system files must be secured, encrypted and archived in a manner that ensures they cannot be compromised, and tested for recoverability. Plans must be tested, as well, and updated periodically to ensure they still reflect operating conditions.
These are the elements that transform a disaster recovery program into a business continuity solution, and it is where many firms fail spectacularly.
