In some ways, there is little mystery to the concept of disaster recovery planning. At the most basic level, it is exactly what it sounds like – a plan for getting your business back up and running in the event of an unforeseen disaster, natural or human error. However, as straightforward as developing such a plan may seem, many companies neglect the area altogether, a potentially fatal business decision.
According to research, two out of five companies that experience a major disaster go out of business within five years. The best insurance for continuing viability is a disaster recovery plan; moreover, not having one is tantamount to a second disaster, which could be the eventual shuttering of the company.
While planning for a disaster may seem like a daunting task, it doesn't have to be, if your company is prepared. But in order to be prepared, you must have a rock-solid plan in place outlining what you'll do in the event of a disaster and you must refine that plan over time to meet new challenges presented by a change in business, a world event, or an environmental issue.
Also, remember that a disaster recovery plan covers everything from the mundane to the catastrophic. So in the risk-assessment phase, take the time to think about the impact of such annoying but disruptive incidents as power outages, cut network cables, and failed hard drives. Compared with a hurricane, these may seem minor, but they can have an impact on your company's bottom line.
