Disaster Recovery anyone?

Disaster Recovery : Things your company should be thinking about
Having a disaster recovery plan for your business is almost like having an umbrella with you on a rainy day. When it rains, there's no doubt you'll get wet, but with an umbrella, you'll mitigate the chances of getting soaked. That's the same with a solid disaster recovery plan. Sure, there may be some down time, but having a plan in place will allow your business to continue to flow. For large corporations and Fortune 500 companies, elaborate IT consultants disaster recovery plans are in place to protect their business from the impact of major interruptions and downtime. Many large companies have duplicate locations to store their company's data and the ability to work in these locations allows the flow of business moving without interruption.
But small business may not have the luxury of multiple locations, and a large IT budget to create this kind of insurance. Rather thank "risking it", no matter how big or small your business is, there are affordable steps you can take to minimize loss and provide the peace of mind you need to operate your business.
Benefits of Disaster Recovery Planning for Business:

Damage or loss caused by a natural or man-made disaster can be minimized
Rapid recovery of business operations
Improved ability to cope with the unexpected
Employ less resources to the disaster recovery efforts when a viable plan is in place
Everyone in the company is on the same page and will work towards the same goal
