- "Be prepared" -

It might be an old Cub Scout motto, but those two words ring true to any disaster recovery (DR) planner. Since it's impossible to tell where, when or by what force of man or nature a disaster will strike -- it's critical in today's business environment to be prepared for everything.

Setting up, implementing and testing a good DR plan is not easy and can be a big drain on resources, time and money. Since a plan is generally perceived as a preventative measure, with little up-front business value associated, it can be overlooked by management or pushed down the task list.

This DR e-book, from content published in Storage magazine, provides hints on how to craft, implement and test your plan and -- find tips on how to sell this vision to management.
