The essential guide to cloud-based backup and disaster recovery
Support business continuity by building a holistic emergency plan


When disaster strikes, whether large or small, your job is to keep things up and running. For that you need a plan of action. So, where do you start? You may need a backup solution, you may need a disaster recovery solution, or you may need a bit of both.
Developing your company’s business continuity plan begins with understanding the technologies available and matching them to use cases you have. After selecting a vendor, you can implement the solution, document your emergency plan, and test the entire thing.
This whitepaper explores how disaster recovery solutions aid companies by supporting business continuity, and in an approachable, action-orientated way goes through the steps leading to a holistic plan of action.
