Data Disaster Recovery- 10/21/2008

Recovering data as part of a data disaster recovery process can be a nightmare if the tools or systems you are using are outdated or substandard. Members of your organization and perhaps your client companies will be under a bit of stress during this operation, and it helps immensely if the restore process goes smoothly.

A data disaster recovery is a special operation most commonly used to recover a client computer from a massive data loss where the backup client software was also lost and needs to be reinstalled. These major data loss events are usually caused by a bad hard drive, stolen or destroyed computer, or accidental erasure or reformatting - or a combination of all three. Whatever the cause, a data disaster recovery is the ultimate test of any type of backup software, and the best solutions handle it with style. The disaster recovery procedure is a relatively straightforward one, and can automatically recover the previous remote backup software installation with all its settings intact, including the login name and password, encryption key, and catalogs; and all the data that was backed up using the previous installation. System state and active directory settings are also available for restore during a data disaster recovery, and can make the process of recovering to a ‘previous state’ much simpler. Without these critical settings, crucial go-live time will be lost installing and configuring patches, user permissions, and other system-level settings. Planning ahead and preparing written plans for data disaster recovery processes and procedures will save critical time when it is most valuable.
