What would happen to your business after a fire? Would you be able to get back online and recover, or would you lose weeks, months, or maybe your entire company as a result? Many businesses have what is known as a custom disaster recovery plan. If your organization relies on computers, databases, and technology in any way, shape, or form to provide services, make sales, offer customer support, or deal with vendors, you need a backup and recovery plan that includes business continuity for your computer network. All it can take is a small issue that gets out of hand and grows out of control following a disaster. Power grid issues, malware, ransomware, employee issues, a random lightning strike – all of these things have been known to kill a business without disaster recovery services available to get everything back up and running.
Common Issues for Modern Business
There are a lot of scenarios that could potentially impact your business. A stolen laptop or company phone that contains passwords and sensitive information. File corruption issues that delete essential accounting files, human resources data, and customer contacts. Simple human errors, such as accidental deletion of files and folders – all these situations could result in severe losses for your organization. Your best bet is to do everything you can right now to be prepared for recovery from a minor or major disaster. Small-to-medium-sized businesses are often more at risk than larger corporations, as they do not have the tools in place that they need to recover. Studies show that businesses impacted by this type of data loss often never recover and end up shutting down forever. Fires, floods, electrical storms, malicious attacks, employee error, theft, and ransomware are just some of the examples that can impact a business that relies on computers for its day-to-day operations.

Backup and Recovery Plan Strategies
While it might sound simple and that all you need to do is establish a backup strategy, there is a lot more to it than that. It is also essential to consider every aspect of the disaster recovery process and ensure that everyone knows their responsibility when it comes time to recover any lost data or sensitive information. The more you can learn about how it will be done, why it needs to be done, and how quickly this all needs to happen can prevent further loss of business, sales, and customers for the ongoing success of your organization. When designing a custom disaster recovery plan for other types of emergencies, most people think about creating a plan of escape to get everyone out safely. When it comes to a backup and recovery plan for your IT department, a guide should also be created to prepare everyone on what needs to be done following any type of disaster to get your business back online as soon as possible.
