Disaster Recovery Testing

We recommend that our clients perform a periodic disaster recovery test. This exercise will allow your data and critical information to be fully restored from your backup medium. Many organizations do not know if they could restore their information, software, etc. in a time of crisis. Our disaster recovery test allows us to know that your backup process and procedures allow for full restoration of your organization's critical information.

According to statistics published by the Disaster Recovery Journal, only 41.5% of organizations have a Business Continuity Plan and we continue to encounter many companies who are still failing to adequately backup critical information.
