Disaster Recovery

Disaster Recovery

the administrative function of protecting people and resources while restoring a failed network or device as quickly as posible

Three things to consider regarding disaster recovery?

Data restoration, data prioritization, and restoring access

Locally Stored Data

Does not require network to access, allows for the quickest access to data, but does not provide the best redundancy

Network Attached Storage

Requires network to access, enables a greater storage capacity compared to local, but susceptible to physical damage

Cloud stored data

Requires network access, access to data relies on the speed of the network, and provides better data redundancy because most cloud data is stored off-site
