What is Disaster Recovery (DR)?

Disaster Recovery is a process that aims to restore an organisation to working order after a serious event, such as a natural disaster, a hacker attack or a power outage.

The goal of Disaster Recovery is to restore an organisation’s critical business processes and IT systems as quickly as possible and to keep the impact of a disaster to a minimum. This involves various measures, such as creating backups and emergency plans, maintaining redundant IT systems at different locations and running tests to make sure that the recovery processes work in an emergency.

Disaster Recovery is an important part of Business Continuity Management, as it helps companies prepare for unexpected events and improves their ability to get back on their feet quickly after a disaster.
