I thought I share some tips on creating a practical disaster recovery plan.\u00a0 Most people has a misconception that such plans are large complex and ultimately expensive.<\/p>\n
Well I am going to show you how you can have a practical disaster recovery plan for your IT operations without spending a whole bunch of money.<\/p>\n
Why have a plan?\u00a0 You do want the business to continue functioning when the data center gets a power blackout, flooded or caught fire?\u00a0 You need to communicate with your customers and suppliers, business systems to support your key business functions. Eg ERP systems for the manufacturing and inventory, the logistics systems for the trucks.\u00a0 Business needs to carry on, so must the IT systems.<\/p>\n
Remember disasters can come in bite size too.\u00a0 Let\u2019s say you have 2 disk failures on your RAID 5 file server, rare but it happened to me.\u00a0 Are you going to rely on the server vendor’s 24x7x4 hardware support and go grap a cup of coffee?<\/p>\n
I have listed below are some main points of disaster recovery plan. These will branch to other posts when completed.\u00a0 Any topics of interest to you?\u00a0 Drop me a note I will try to include.\u00a0 Note disaster recovery (DR) plans are not business continuity plans (BCP).\u00a0 BCP deals with the identification of threats and risks, creation of the appropriate responses to these issues. DR plans deals with how to do implement these responses.<\/p>\n
