DISASTER RECOVERY
Disaster recovery is defined as a set of actions that are taken in the event that a major disaster occurs, causing unplanned outages and possible loss of important data.
The objective is to minimise the adverse effects caused by such disasters, and to help prevent the occurrence of others in the future.
Disaster recovery can be something that is government involved, or it can pertain to individual private companies or organisations.
Disasters can include computer-related issues such as hacker attacks and computer viruses, electrical issues such as power failures and underground cable cuts resulting in such failures, and natural disasters such as fires, floods, and earthquakes. Human error can also cause loss of data and vital pieces of information as networks and computer systems may be down for a time. There are, however, steps that can be taken to plan for disaster recovery and help prevent the occurrence of such disasters.
One of the most important aspects of disaster recovery planning is business continuity. This involves insuring that the critical business processes of an organization will be maintained in the event of a disaster. While this pertains to every aspect of the business, the backing up of computer data is especially important when referring to the areas of the organisation that use IT systems since this is where the data is stored.
