A recent Telstra-funded study has found 52 per cent of Australian businesses haven't considered the development of a disaster plan, The Age reports.
No business owner or manager wants to spend their time thinking about an impending disaster, but the article makes a good case for taking time out to plan ahead for worst-case scenarios.
And with a multitude of natural disasters from fires to floods hitting the country SME owners are reminded they often have more to lose from the unexpected than larger, multi-site organisations.
Hitachi Data Systems chief technologist Simon Elisha says the first step towards creating a disaster plan is to look at ways to ensure the longevity of the company; from this point it’s suggested businesses focus on a highly organised approach to backing-up data.
A smart tip that can help your business avoid a post-disaster nightmare is to test information that has been backed-up to ensure the system is working and that information can be fully restored.
wow 52% is a lot of dead australian businesses people in the case of a disaster, just by not take the proper precautions for a disaster. Very interesting numbers, great post.
