The IT Pro guide to disaster recovery
What will you do when disaster strikes?


What will you do when disaster strikes? No business wants to think about the unthinkable, but it would be foolish not to have a viable disaster recovery plan in place should the worst happen. A business that relies on data and IT infrastructure can’t afford to bury its head in the sand.
In 2019, you need to be thinking about disaster recovery, as resilience and the power to bounce back from a crisis is vital.
This IT Pro report lifts the lid on DR, explores what it is, why it matters, and how to plan for recovery in case the worst happens.
