DISASTER RECOVERY IN MORE DETAIL
Disaster recovery enables a business to continue running or quickly restore mission critical systems following a disaster.
A disaster can result from a range of causes - from cyberattack, to hardware failure, or natural disaster, such as fire or flood.
When creating a disaster recovery plan, two major objectives must be defined
Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
The time measured from the moment of the disaster to production operations being back up online.
If a business has an RTO of four hours, the downtime cannot be longer than four hours.
The time measured from the moment of the disaster to production operations being back up online.
If a business has an RTO of four hours, the downtime cannot be longer than four hours.
Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
The amount of data the business can allow itself to lose, defined as the length of time between the most recent disaster recovery activity (such as backup) and the moment the critical incident occurs.
As an example, it’s the age of the files of data in storage required to restart normal operations following a system or network failure.

LOOKING AT THE OPTIONS FOR BACKUP AND RECOVERY
There’s no question about whether your business needs a backup and recovery solution. It does. The only real question is, which solution is right for your business. Consider the following factors when deciding on a solution:
Storage
How much capacity do you need? Are you backing up one server and a few laptops, or do you have multiple servers in multiple locations, as well as desktop systems and laptops in the field?

Uptime
The reason for backup and recovery is to ensure your data is available whenever you need it. This is where your RPOs and RTOs come in.

Scalability
Whatever size your business, it’s likely your data will continue to grow. You, therefore, need a service that offers scalability and agility, so your backup can grow as your needs grow.

Security
Make sure data is encrypted not only when stored but also while in transit to and from the server. A cybercriminal may be able to see data in transit that is not encrypted.

Compliance
Privacy of customer and employee data is important. A backup solution should comply with regulations such as GDPR. It should also be able to comply with specific industry regulations.

Support
With any backup solution, it is vital that your vendor offers support in the event of a problem - such as XcellHost’s 24*7 support.
