What is Disaster Recovery?
Disaster recovery is the practice of anticipating, planning for, surviving, and recovering from a disaster that may affect a business. Disasters can include:

• Failure of equipment or infrastructure, such as a power outage or hard disk failure

• Man-made calamities such as accidental erasure of data or loss of equipment

• Cyber attacks by hackers or malicious insiders

What is a Disaster Recovery Plan?
A disaster recovery plan typically includes:

• Emergency procedures staff can carry out when a disaster occurs

• Critical IT assets and their maximum allowed outage time

• Tools or technologies that should be used for recovery

• A disaster recovery team, their contact information, and communication procedures (e.g. who should be notified in case of disaster)

Why is Disaster Recovery Important?
Drafting a disaster recovery plan, and ensuring you have the right staff in place to carry it out, can have the following benefits:

• Minimize interruption – in the event of a disaster, even if it is completely unexpected, your business can continue operating with minimal interruption.

• Limit damages – a disaster will inevitably cause damage, but you can control the extent of damage caused.

• Training and preparation – having a disaster recovery program in place means your staff are trained to react in case of a disaster.

• Restoration of services – having a solid disaster recovery plan means you can restore all mission-critical services to their normal state in a short period of time.
