Data Gaurd - Disaster Recovery Planning

Disaster recovery planning is a necessary exercise; however, because of the costs and time involved, many IT managers may be tempted to ignore the best practice of twice yearly testing cycles or forgo rigorous testing. Leadership perception that remote sites may not be as critical as headquarters compounds the problem for subsidiaries, which may not receive the funding and support they need to conduct regular, thorough tests.

Companies of all sizes should carry out periodic disaster recovery tests that focus on facility equipment components, as unpredictable climate patterns and other weather-related events can damage electrical relays, contacts and control panels.
