Backup & Disaster Recovery

One of the biggest mistakes made by many small and medium businesses in Australia is the failure to have adequate backup systems and procedures in place. Think about the financial impact on your business if you lost some or even all of your crucial business data. In addition, what plans and procedures do you have in place to test your backup procedures and systems regularly? What would your business do, where would you go and how long would it take to be completely operational again in the event of a catastrophic failure or environmental impact on your business?

Whilst many people may think that these questions don’t apply to them, don’t be fooled. Many businesses found out the hard way in January 2011 when the Queensland floods hit just how under prepared and inadequately protected their IT systems were.

Effective IT can show you how your business can be back up and running in a matter of hours not days or weeks in the event of a catastrophic failure. We have implemented backup and disaster recovery systems and procedures for clients that allow them to be completely up and running at a remote site within hours. One of our clients who was directly affected by the floods was able to literally take their family for an extended holiday and still have complete access to all their systems even though their business premises was under a foot of water with now power.

Allow Effective IT to implement a strategy that protects your business from every angle!
