Backup and Recovery - Acceptable Time to Recovery

Time is a crucial consideration in your backup and recovery plans.

Every hour of downtime comes at a high cost, especially to smaller businesses.

Think about it in this way. For every hour that your servers, applications, and network are down until data restoration and recovery are fully complete, what does it cost your organization? How many customers will not be served? How many customers will switch to your competitors?

The bottom line is that a backup solution is only as good as the recovery it can provide. Speed to recovery is a big factor, so you should consider it as such when evaluating small business backup and recovery solutions.
