It’s not a matter of if but when.  Whether it’s big or small, sooner or later disaster will strike a computer system.  It can be something as simple as a failed hard drive or a crashed operating system or something as extensive as the building burning down, disasters happen.  The real important question here is, is your business prepared?  Much like an evacuation plan in the event of a hurricane or a flood, it is prudent to have a disaster recovery plan in place to ensure that your business will survive disaster when it strikes.

• Do you have a backup of all your files?
• Do you have a second, off-site, backup of your files?
• Do you regularly look at your backup system to ensure that files are being backed up?
• Do you regularly test file restore capabilities to ensure that the recovery plan is functional?

If you can’t answer an emphatic YES to these questions, chances are you at risk.

What level of effort / how many man hours would it take to re-create the data your computer systems contain in the event of a failure?  What about a catastrophic failure?
