I think we call all agree that a passive approach to data protection has passed us by, especially with the events of the past few years. The daily tape rotation, usually performed by the most junior staff member in the IT group or the last person standing approach (similar to musical chairs) have been replaced, hopefully, by a more thought out plan.
Data Protection solutions have evolved from simple Data Backup to extensive Disaster Recovery/Business Continuation plans. The potential risk to an organization and related financial impact are conversations best had prior to a disaster. I would submit to you that a disaster does not have to be a smolder office/building, as was once thought. If the right person in the company deletes (or loses) a document or email, a disaster is created (we all know a person in our company). So the definition of a disaster has changed in recent years.
Here are a few questions to ask yourself or management team:
- How well do you know your company data?
- Are you focused on protecting the appropriate information?
- Is the budget being used wisely on data protection?
- When was the last time you tested the data backup(s)?
