Smart Business Article: An Irrevocable Loss

Business information, whether stored on paper files or in electronic form, must be safeguarded against natural disasters. Fire, floods, earthquakes and hurricanes could destroy or render information unavailable for a period, creating a time gap during which a business cannot access its data. The more time that goes by without access to that information, the higher the likelihood the business never recovers.
To a lesser degree, businesses are subject to accidents, such as a burst pipe, that can drown servers and soak critical documents. In either case, a disaster recovery plan is critical.
