Ready To Play The "What If" Game? (Computer Backup Is No Game)


What Would Happen To Your Business If You Had A Data Disaster?

In business, it's smart to play the “what if” game? You know, asking "what if" scenario questions about your operations, customers, employees, etc. Questions like: What if a key employee were to quit or die? What if we lost our biggest customer? What if we lost our supplier? And so on.

If your company relies on computer data (and what company doesn't these days?), then a critical what if question you need to ask is, "What if we had a disaster in our office"?

What shape would you be in if your computer data systems failed? More to the point, what is your specific disaster recovery plan? Because the reality is that it is not a question of whether you will suffer a data loss, it is a question of WHEN it will happen.

Does your business even have a data center disaster recovery plan in place? If the answer to that question is "No" or if you are less than satisfied with the answer, then you need to read on.

Having no disaster recovery plan is a disaster in and of itself. But what if you have a system in place? Can you comfortably say that you are confident that your backup system will perform? Well, if you're having second thoughts about either starting a data center disaster recovery plan, or if you are not confident that the plan you do have will work, then it's time to invest in a new plan you can trust.

I LOST THE FILES!!!

What if a blood curdling cry suddenly filled your office? You run to find one of your key employees staring in terror at her computer screen? She turns to you crying and says, "I've just deleted all of our project files".
How would you feel if you realized at that moment there is no way to restore that data and that starting over would make it impossible for you to meet a time-sensitive deadline? You've procrastinated on getting that data backup system in place that you've know all along you needed.
Had you just made data backup a priority BEFORE the data loss occurred, that right now instead of panicking, you'd simply be implementing your simple data center disaster recovery plan and with your reliable computer backup system safely in place, you be minutes away from a simple restore of those now lost files.


Okay...Not Serious Enough For You?

What if it wasn't a few deleted files? What if one of the thousands of nasty computer viruses found its way into your server and deleted every single file? Would you be pounding your head against your desk out of frustration, knowing that if you had just taken the time to make online computer backups that your business could still be saved?

Are You Still Not Convinced?

What if an earthquake, a fire, a hurricane (can you say Katrina), a tornado, a theft, or any number of random unstoppable forces of nature completely destroyed your offices, leaving you not only without a physical space, but without any computers and without any of your company data, literally no record that that you ever had a business to begin with? Sound far-fetched?Just ask any business owner in New Orleans or in Southern California recently.

Don't you think it is time to take ACTION before it truly is too late?

When getting started on a data center disaster recovery plan, there's no need to think twice. It's an essential part of your business and something that you should have RIGHT NOW.
Otherwise, you may find yourself not asking “what if?", but "What are we going to do?"

Can Your Business Afford to NOT Have A Data Center Disaster Recovery Plan


But We Can't Afford A Data Center Disaster Recovery Plan!

Uh...can you afford to have your business shut down? The truth is we're talking about a huge investment here. We're talking less than the cost of a steak dinner and bottle of wine. Disaster recovery software has never been more affordable, and you can even "try before you buy"!

We should never think of a data center disaster recovery plan as something that we don't need or something that can wait. This plan isn't something that you should consider when you have enough time, when you earn enough money, or when it's convenient for you; it should be something you HAVE NOW. Period.

Far too many companies make the mistake of thinking a disaster can't happen to them, and many have already paid dearly for this attitude. They don't look at data center disaster recovery plans as a priority. They would rather busy themselves with “real” problems that they face now, not with some “what if” scenario that might never happen at all. And it's understandable too. We all get busy with day to day demands like business proposals, meetings, and deadlines.

But the truth of the matter is that the time to implement a data center disaster recovery plan is now, BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES. And ask anyone whose gone through a disaster and they'll tell you...disasters can occur at any given time – there's
just no telling when a disaster may strike or a when a serious problem may occur. Okay, so maybe the odds are in your favor, but that's little solace if you happen to be unlucky enough to find your firm the victim of an isolated calamity that claims
all of your invaluable business data and intellectual capital.

Why would you want to leave the success of your business up to chance? Yet, without a sound plan that is exactly what you are doing by failing to give your data center disaster recovery plan the highest priority. There is a real need to prepare for disaster, great and small, despite it being a “what if” scenario, even if the only reason is that there is a minimal chance for that scenario to manifest itself (it's not, though).
