Data recovery
It is believed that some of the
companies spend up to 25% of their budgets on disaster recovery planning;
this is intended to avoid larger losses. Companies that had a major
loss of computerized records, 43% never reopen, 51% close within two years,
and only 6% will survive long-term.

In Information Technology,
backup refers to making copies of data so that these additional copies
may be used to
restore the
original after a data loss event. These additional copies are
typically called "backups." Backups are useful primarily for two purposes:
-
To restore a computer to an
operational state following a disaster (called disaster recovery)
-
To restore small numbers of files
after they have been accidentally deleted or corrupted
Since a backup system contains at
least one copy of all data worth saving, the data storage requirements are
considerable. Organizing this storage space and managing the backup process
is a complicated undertaking.
Risk Assessment Service
A
risk assessment
should be performed to determine what constitutes a disaster and which risks a
specific company is most susceptible to.
Backup Service Options
ITW will assist
you in setting up your own backup site. A location where your
business can easily relocate following a disaster, such as fire, flood, or
terrorist threat. This is an integral part of the
disaster recovery plan of a business. Backup sites can be another
location operated by the business, or contracted via ITW that specializes in
disaster recovery
services.
Cold Sites
A cold site is
an inexpensive type of backup site for a business to operate. It does not
include backed up copies of data and information from the original location
of the business, nor does it include hardware already set up. The lack
of hardware contributes to the minimal startup costs of the cold site, but
requires additional time following the disaster to have the operation
running at a capacity close to that prior to the disaster. |
Warm Sites
A warm site is
a location where the business can relocate to after the disaster that is
already stocked with computer hardware similar to that of the original site,
but does not contain backed up copies of data and information.

Hot Sites
A hot site is a
duplicate of the original site of the business, with full computer systems
as well as near-complete backups of user data. Following a disaster, the hot
site exists so that the business can relocate with minimal losses to normal
operations. Ideally, a hot site will be up and running within a matter of
hours. Hot sites are popular with stock exchanges and other financial
institutions who may need to evacuate due to potential bomb threats and must
resume normal operations as soon as possible. |
Choosing the type
is mainly decided by a companies cost vs. benefit strategy. Hot sites are
traditionally more expensive then cold sites since much of the equipment the
company needs has already been purchased and thus the operational costs are
higher. However if the same company loses a substantial amount of revenue for
each day they are inactive then it may be worth the cost. Another advantage of a
hot site is that it can be used for operations prior to a disaster happening.
The advantages of a
cold site are simple--cost. It requires much fewer resources to operate a cold
site because no equipment has been bought prior to the disaster. The downside
with a cold site is the potential cost that must be incurred in order to make
the cold site effective. In addition to the costs of purchasing equipment on a
very short notice may be higher and the disaster may make the accessibility of
the equipment very difficult to obtain.
Data Recovery
Data Recovery
is the process of salvaging data from damaged, failed, corrupted or inaccessible
primary storage media when it cannot be accessed normally.
