It wasn't long ago that formal disaster recovery planning was limited to only large corporations. A disaster recovery project team was created and charged with the mission of protecting corporate assets. It was their job to ensure that the company could survive all types of disasters; from earthquakes and fires to computer crashes. While small and medium sized business owners understood the concept, it was not cost effective for them to allocate valuable time and limited resources to such a large project. Consequently, these businesses chose to ignore their vulnerability to major disasters and instead focused on basic protective procedures such as performing computer data backups to tape. Is it any wonder that most small businesses go out of business after suffering a major disaster?

Disaster recovery planning is no longer just for the large corporation; it is for everyone. By investing a little time on a disaster recovery plan you can help ensure that your business or important personal data will be back up and running if you should experience a disaster. A disaster recovery plan is like catastrophic health insurance for your business. While you hope that you will never need it, you can not afford to do without it.
