Plan for disruption.
Protect the work.
Thoughtful backup and recovery planning helps prepare for hardware failures and other interruptions.
Decide what needs protecting.
A backup policy should consider the information and systems the organization depends on, how copies are maintained, and the responsibilities around them.
Consider more than one location.
Local backups are only one part of the picture. Offsite copies help address situations where a site-level event could affect systems and locally held backups together.
Plan the path back to operation.
Backups, virtualization, and infrastructure design all contribute to recovery planning. Understanding dependencies helps an organization consider what work can resume and how.
Prepare before an interruption.
Continuity planning should be considered alongside infrastructure and ongoing support. Talk to us about your environment and the work your organization needs to protect.
