Tips for a Successful Disaster Recovery Process
Our outbound conference calling system would not be as successful as it is now if it wasn’t for our amazing clients, who helped us refine the platform so that it addressed every need. In honor of our dedicated clients, we want to offer some additional advice to help businesses in their disaster recovery planning.
Create a Written Plan
After establishing RPO and RTO, performing a risk assessment, and establishing priorities, you should create a written outline of your plan’s content. This outline will help organize the steps involved in disaster recovery, prevent redundancies, and identify any gaps.
Once the outline is created, make sure you establish a standard format for writing the plan to help with ongoing maintenance and create consistency between multiple writers.
After the plan is written, have it reviewed by your management team, who will have final approval on priorities, policies, and procedures.
Test Your Plan, and Test It Again
Before finalizing your disaster recovery plan, put it through rigorous testing. Testing ensures your backup facilities and procedures are effective, identifies areas for improvement, and helps train team managers and employees. If problems are identified during the test, be sure to update the plan to avoid these complications in the future.
Even after your disaster recovery plan is approved, you must test it on a routine basis. Things change all the time within your organization, and these changes can alter the success of your strategy. A good rule of thumb is to test your disaster recovery plan quarterly, so you can be confident everything will work properly in a real crisis.
