What is Disaster recovery?
Disaster Recovery, with its alternative use, Disaster Prevention, in short, is instant backup of the applications that we need continuity in a different location and always keeping them ready to work.
There will always be a risk of loss of broadcasts provided from a single location. Against the risk of data loss, backup mechanisms and scenarios using advanced technology are operated today, but for a simple example, considering the factors that completely cancel access to the location, such as fire, power outage, backup restoration will not ensure your continuity.
At this point, Disaster Scenarios, which were previously created by foreseeing these risks, come into play.
What is the disaster scenario? How is it created?
Disaster Recovery Plan is an alternative plan(s) prepared by considering possible risks in order to ensure the continuity of our digital data.
How to Prepare a Disaster Scenario?
First of all, risks must be created. The main risks to consider today are as follows;
Power cut
Fire
Earthquake
Internet Service Provider Problems
Hardware Failures
These risks should be added to special cases depending on your location, and a list of actions to be taken for each scenario should be prepared. These questions are completely customized to your institution.
For example, for a single-user SME that only has the Accounting database in its own location, “What is the action to take in case the Accounting database server breaks down?” we can ask the question.
The whole of the precautionary plans to be taken against the risks means the Disaster Scenario.
