| Abstract: | The first step in designing a data backup recovery strategy requires answering two questions: How quickly must you recover the data before your business experiences serious setbacks, and how much are you willing to pay to implement a data backup plan. The practice of storing backup data in a safe place, called vaulting, assumes that an organization's data are backed up regularly on some type of removable medium, such as magnetic tape or disk or CD, and then delivered to an off site location for safekeeping. An effective alternative to physical vaulting is electronic vaulting, where mission critical data are sent over the Internet to the home computer of a key employee. A related strategy is to use the services of a business that provides storage room on its remote computers. |
