Disaster Management: Plan Ahead

When it comes to your systems, in addition to frequently backing up computer data, you can consider telecommuting, co-locating and outsourcing disaster recovery for your data center.

In the event of a disaster, IT brings the disk of archived backup from the outside vendor to a host site and pulls the day’s transaction file from the network server to bring it up to the time of the interruption.
