the importance ofDRP : OVERVIEW What happens if your business is faced with an emergency situation or disaster that you have no control over. The worst case situation is that your business collapses and your clients no longer have you to provide them with products, services or support.
How long can you afford to have your business closed down? How much "down time" can you endure before it impacts the running of your business? What is the impact on you and your clients?Can you run on only a skeleton staff with basic business and computer systems? How long will it take to recover your computer system? Are all your files backed up and stored in a safe place? There are so many issues that cause businesses to cease trading because they just don't have the time to work out how to deal with a disaster situation. Disaster Recovery Plans are derived from your Business Continuity Plan, your business dictates to you what computer systems and business systems you need to keep operating.
Your DRP allows you to survive when everything else fails and protects the investment in your company, your clients and professional integrity intact.
