Disaster Recovery : Expert Planning and Implementation Consultants
When properly planned and implemented, a disaster recovery plan makes possible the
retrieval of lost data and the resumption of system operations. Such procedures
are a critical part of computer operations at all levels, especially those involving
the storage of long-term or permanent records on electronic media. A solid disaster
recovery plan may also be critical to the fulfillment of audit requirements and
the maintenance of audit trails in fiscal systems. For many applications, multiple
copies and/or generations of backups may be required.
One of the requirements of the
Sarbanes Oxley Act is that
systems containing financial data maintained by a publicly traded company be backed
up periodically, that the backup media is stored in a secure off-site location and
requires that periodic test be run to prove that financial systems can be recovered
from backup in the event a disaster strikes. The purpose of the disaster recovery
plan is to provide a means to: (1) restore the integrity of the computer systems
in the event of a hardware/software failure or physical disaster, and (2) provide
a measure of protection against human error or the inadvertent deletion of important
files.
