The unexpected is called the unexpected for a reason.

However, your backup and disaster recovery plan shouldn’t be unexpected.

Australia has sadly seen its fair share of natural disasters over the last couple of years, whether that be bushfires or floods. However, it’s been a timely reminder for businesses to revisit their business continuity strategy, specifically around disaster recovery.

Build and deploy your IT disaster recovery plan

Considerations for your backup and disaster recovery plan should start with:

Identify business critical functions
Define how and when these functions need to be recovered so the business can continue to operate

Know your risks
Identify the disasters (natural and cyber) that your business might face.

Plan now for what you will do
Work with your staff and external providers to make an action plan. Be clear in roles, responsibilities and expectations.

Get your business ready
Put the plan into practice regularly. It’s no good when it’s only on paper.

Whilst we’re focussed on the technological side of your business, these guidelines operate across the business.

It’s not just in theory

We regularly test our backup and disaster recovery process across our client’s deployments to ensure that it works.

We’re delivering above the ASD Essential 8 maturity model recommendation:

  • Full restoration of backups is tested at least once when initially implemented and each time fundamental information technology infrastructure changes occur.

Industry trends show that the driving business factors for changing backup and recovery solution providers are:

  • Improved recovery point objective (RPO)/recovery time objective (RTO) SLAs
  • Reduction in costs
  • Improve reliability (success rates) of backups
