How safe is the information in your computer ? If a fire, flood, earthquake or even sabotage struck your office, would your electronic data survive ? And if you could access your data, how long would it take to get your information system up and running again ? These questions are being asked with far more urgency since the tragedy of September 11. While the questions, as you shall see, are often difficult to answer, what’s clear is that organizations large and small need to prepare comprehensive disaster - preparation strategies. This article focuses on just one area of disaster preparedness : data backup. The first step in designing such a strategy requires that you answer two questions : - Downtime : How quickly must you recover the information before your business experiences serious setbacks? - Cost : How much are you willing to pay to implement a data-backup plan? To answer the downtime question, you must address, among other things, issues such as how well your organization can tolerate missed sales opportunities, delayed cash receipts, decreased employee productivity, lost purchase discounts and possible loss of customers, investors and trading partners. Faster recovery times equal lower downtime costs. However, strategies that speed recovery also can be expensive. While this article cannot cover all aspects of each strategy, it will summarize the major techniques.
