Disaster Recovery (DR)

Define Your Goals, Plan and Implement The Solution, and Test Rigorously

3 Step Disaster Recovery Plan

Defining Your Goals
When considering Disaster Recovery (DR), technical teams must first assess the criticality of their applications and services.
Plan And Implement
Engage in a detailed consultation with your technical stakeholders. Build a solution that works for you and within your budget.
Test Rigorously
Testing the solution is a piece that is often overlooked. You don't want to realize there's a problem during a disaster.

Defining Your Goals

For business systems that can tolerate some downtime, it's crucial to establish a few key goals

Recovery Time Objective (RTO)

This metric defines the acceptable amount of time that your application can be offline after a disaster. If your application needs to be back online within 24 hours, that will have a different type of solution than one that needs to be online within an hour or even a minute.

Recovery Point Objective (RPO)

This metric dictates how frequently your data is backed up. Depending on the criticality of the data, backup intervals can vary from daily to every few seconds. This is where technologies like continuous data protection (CDP) come into play, allowing for almost instantaneous data recovery and minimal data loss.
