IS YOUR BUSINESS READY FOR ANYTHING? TESTING YOU DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

Why is disaster recovery plan testing important? Let’s have a look.

You’d be surprised to learn that despite all the talk about disaster recovery testing, most organisations still don’t do it enough. Without the testing and verification of DR plans, you’ll have no idea as to whether or not you’ll actually be able to recover from a disaster or extended outage. It’s during these testing periods that any security and backup issues can be identified and addressed because sometimes, extended downtime can mean a life-or-death situation.

Rather than leaving it to chance, testing backups helps you ensure that all components of our BDR solution and process work harmoniously to provide you with the proactive data management, protection and business continuity you need to be successful.

How often should I have my DR plan tested?

Chances are the answer is “more often than you’re testing now.” There isn’t a magic number, but the more DR testing you’ve done, the better prepared you’ll ultimately end up. One option is to have your managed service provider undertake this testing to ensure that all backup and data protection processes are working correctly, and provide you with added peace of mind that you’ll be prepared for any disaster.
