Importance of Recovery Planning

It’s so important for us to backup our files, including videos, audios, images or any other document files. This good habit could minimize your significant files loss.

On a frequent basis, you should create backups of your IT systems and test the backups that you have created. Always make sure that the backups you made are in a safe place, and out of the way of harm. You should also check with your disaster recovery team as well, and make sure that they have the location of your backups noted in their recovery plans.

One of the most important aspects of recovery and disaster planning is to keep an up to date inventory on all of your equipment and material. You should always stay on top of this, to make sure that you can easily identify what you have and how to go about replacing equipment whenever something happens. If you keep a record of your suppliers and their phone numbers, you can have them with you for easy access in the event of an emergency.
