'No second chance' without disaster recovery
Category: Data destruction
16 September, 2008
Without having disaster recovery preparations in place, businesses could find they are not given a second chance, it has been claimed.The assertion comes from Andrew Morkot, business continuity manager at accountancy software producer Sage, in an interview with the Northern Echo.
He concedes that disaster recovery may not always need to contend with interruptions such as flooding and explosions.
Mr Morkot tells the publication: "This doesn't mean, however, that we can be complacent or let our guard down.
"Businesses that are not prepared often never get a second chance."
The Northern Echo adds that, in some professions, regulations are in place which demand that disaster recovery preparations are drawn up.
As such, it asserts that business continuity is a growing concern for many companies, regardless of their size.
Figures from the London Chamber of Commerce indicate that up to 44 per cent of companies had no disaster recovery plan in place at the time of the July 7th bombings in 2005.
