All About Data Recovery


by Richard Horowitz


Have you ever wondered if what you know about data recovery is accurate? Here's the latest information on data recovery.

Time will come when your company might become a victim of a natural disaster, or a lightning storm or downed power lines.

Know that even small businesses can suffer from data disasters. When a good disaster recovery plan is not in place, small businesses may have such a hard time getting back up on its feet, and at times, it won't be able to at all. There are times when even a data recovery system will not be able to help you.

Here are some questions that can give you an idea on what you should do if you encounter a data disaster.

Do you know where your company's most important data files are located?

Are these files being backed up and by what means?

Do you run these data backups regularly and are they verified and tested?

Are there automated controls that do the backups regularly?

How often do your data backup tapes go off-site?

Are there any security measures that would prevent tampering or theft of your data backups?

Do you store your servers, routers, hubs, and phone system controllers in a locked area?

How many people have access to your technology?

Do you use a locally securable operating systems like Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, Microsoft Windows XP, or Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4 on the company desktop PCs and notebooks?

Do you have any confidential data stored locally on any desktop PCs or notebooks? Are any of these systems running an inherently in-secure operating system, such as Microsoft Windows 9x or Microsoft Windows Me?

Do you use power-on passwords to avoid unauthorized boot-ups or tampering with BIOS configuration settings?

How do you update your desktop PCs and notebooks?

The main thing you should remember is that while you can't prevent a data disaster, you can do a lot to make the recuperation easier.
