Just consider a few scenarios:
– You find your business premises vandalised and all records are destroyed;
– Your important staff members are absent and they keep extending their leave period;
– The hard drive of your computer or your server has crashed;
– You have to attend to sick members of your family and you are unable to attend the office;
– You are unable to get to your work place on account of road blocks or strike by some people;
What would you do under these circumstances? How will you communicate with your staff, customers and other people concerned during any emergency? How many days will it take for normalcy to return to your business premises if a disaster strikes?
The idea of disaster plan is to identify the critical core component business functions and protect the firm’s data, resources, people and infrastructure in the event of a disaster striking the business unexpectedly.
The process of recovery has to be undertaken by your company which has suffered the disaster, which becomes possible with a Disaster Recovery plan.
