Disaster recovery tips

1. Keep safge your password of the system. Try to keep password out of the building premises too. Two staff peoples should have the access to same password.

2. Docoument of the system and important system manufacturer updates should be with you.

3. Always trained your staff well to recover the basic disaster. Training is important for staff or employees either inhouse or through third party.

4. Practice your disaster recovery plans on quaterly basis or atleast bi yearly so your staff along with new individuals will be equipped with basic knowledge.

5. Always do backup of your work. Try to keep one set of data out of the business premises. Now a days remote server is a best choice.

6. Try to arrange ready hard drives in backup so any unforeseenable event could not stop your work.

7.A tape archive strategy is crucial. Tapes used on a daily basis should be replaced every six to nine months to avoid deterioration - backups are no use if they cannot be recovered. Other tapes should be replaced on a regular, less frequent, schedule based on the frequency of use. Being able to back up to a remote location is worth almost any price, a fireproof vault is not an alternative to an off-site location.

8. Get yourself the best, longest-life, most uninterruptible power supply you can. Then get an additional battery back-up for your cache to go with it.

9. Don’t neglect to protect yourself from random theft, vandalism and employee malice, they can be just as disastrous as anything else. At the very least ensure that the door to your data/server room is locked, day and night.

10. An automatically closing fire door to the data/server room will keep fire and smoke out of the room for a surprisingly long time
