Business continuity is of utmost importance to any organisation or business as failure to do so can result in huge losses. Some services could be critical to your vendors, suppliers or directly to your customer.
A disaster recovery plan is not something that should be set up when disaster strikes but should be separately integrated at all times within the functionality of a business to provide backup. Business continuity therefore encompasses the planning of what disaster recovery solutions need to be implemented for your smooth business continuity without waiting for a disaster to happen.
These days a reliable option is to have a backup solution with an online site that will avoid data loss and reduce downtime. Sudden failure of systems or theft of data can prove detrimental to business continuity, and the safest way to secure data is online on a server which is at a remote location and can be accessed by anyone at any time with a secure login id and password. Moreover the data is encrypted to avoid any fraudulent activity.
You must always take into consideration your business security measures and requirements to select an appropriate disaster recovery plan and implement it to your business practice. This proves cost effective in the long run as productivity is not lost and data is safe and secure.
