One thing people fail to note when starting businesses is that they never plan for disasters. They are looking for how quickly they can make profits yet if disaster happens they may end up closing. Data disaster recovery plans are important as they prevent massive and even permanent data loss to an organization. Here are some reasons why the recovery plan is important:
Saves time and money: Having to recreate data from scratch has been estimated to cost $8000 per MB. Imagine a case where you have lost all the information of your organization and you did not have a backup. This means you either have to close down or you input all the information again. This will eventually become time wasting and very costly. Thus, having a data disaster recovery plan will help give guidance in trying to retrieve as much information as possible and in this way time and money is saved.
Security measures: The risk of corruption of files and other information has increased. This is mainly due to introduction of viruses that cause major destruction of information within an organization. This is especially so when the organization has been networked. A recovery plan will provide a proper lay out of all the necessary procedures for backing up the information even if the system is infected. It will also spell out which anti-virus software will be used to safeguard against viral intrusion. It will also put into place firewalls for protecting the internal network from outsiders with evil motives. In case of data loss, it will provide procedures of recovery.
Assurance: After one is able to set up a data recovery plan, this will act as an assurance to the customers. Customers usually worry about the information they give to an organization and would like to be affirmed that their information is safe. Putting the recovery plan in place will make them have confidence in the organization that their information is safe.
