New Strategies for Remote Backup Replication and Disaster Recovery
Most large and mid-sized law firms today have disaster recovery plans in place. But are the plans realistic? Do they truly meet the needs of the organization? Do they really bring to the project the full range of options that are available to sophisticated providers of legal services? These questions are of paramount importance for those managing a disaster recovery (“DR”) plan, since the potential of natural disasters or terrorist threats is becoming an increasingly bigger concern for businesses to face.
Two key components of a modern DR plan are backup and replication. DR projects, like any other undertaken by an IT department, compete with other projects on a firm's information technology to-do list. Replication used to be something that was dependent upon resources unavailable to many firms, such as backup or secondary data centers. However, such a project can become more feasible for the small and mid-sized firm by renting space for its hardware at a network services provider. Other advances have occurred in software that enable smaller and mid-sized firms to leverage their internal resources to create far more robust plans than previously possible.
