Disaster Recovery Tool Kits

No matter if you are recovering data from a crashed server, PC computer hard drive or serious disaster such as fire or flood, it's important to have a contingency plan for reducing the amount of time your hardware or servers are down. Proper planning means redundant data locations (off site and on-site) to prevent data loss that is critical to your business operations.

Most on site businesses data backup plans mean that data is stored in more than one location on the individual computer workstation. This includes redundancy on file servers, email servers and external hard drives. A solid plan for knowing where data is located and how to restore both software applications, client information and financial records can mean the difference between a few hours of downtime and a few days. Take time today to consider how your business would function without your computer systems and you'll be happy you have invested in a business continuity plan.
