Backup and Disaster Recovery
What would happen if you suddenly lost all the files stored on your companyıs network? How would your customers be affected if all electronic data in your company suddenly disappeared? Less drastic, but equally important, if a file you are working on accidentally gets deleted, how sure are you that you can get it back? How current would that backup be, and how much work is needed for it to be recreated?
Critical Component
Backup and disaster recovery are often overlooked when building a computer network. Either they are not implemented at all or, worse, they are implemented poorly, giving a false sense of security. The process of instituting backups is more than just hooking a tape drive to your network and hoping that all your data is safe. Proper policies must be in place, random testing of backed-up files should occur on a regular basis, and user should have an idea of what gets backed-up and how often. Similarly, disaster recovery is more than storing your backup tapes off-site.
In case a disaster (fire, flood, broken water pipes) affects your office, and, more importantly, your computer networks, how fast can you get access to your stored data? Can you quickly acquire replacement hardware to work on while the office is repaired or moved? Are your backups stored in a special format that requires a specific application to restore -- an application whose media and license keys were located in the disaster area?
