S2E4 Don't Just Hope for the Best - Plan for the Worst!

Daniela and Brian tackle the topic of disaster recovery (DR). They define DR, discuss its importance, and explore how it relates to business continuity. They also delve into the role of cloud computing, the importance of backups, and the challenges of testing and budgeting for DR.

Key Takeaways:

• DR is a subset of business continuity: It focuses on the technology component of recovery.
• DR is not just for major disasters: It applies to any disruptive event that impacts your technology and data.
• Every business needs a DR plan: No matter how small, every organization relies on technology and needs a plan to recover it.
• Cloud computing can help, but it's not foolproof: While cloud services can transfer some risk, organizations still need to consider their own DR needs.
• Backups are essential: Having copies of your data and systems is crucial for recovery.
• Testing is key: Regularly testing your DR plan is the only way to ensure it will work when you need it.
• Budgeting for DR can be challenging: But it's a critical investment in your organization's resilience.
