Prepare for the worst, even at the best of times.
Disaster recovery may seem like an irrelevant service. Let’s face it, what are the chances of disaster wiping out your entire database? Wrong! Disaster strikes more often than you might think, and the loss of data could severely impact your business. Boss GTS, the specialist disaster recovery company in South Africa, has extensive knowledge and experience in the field. Let the Boss team put your mind at ease and secure your data in case of an emergency.
Disaster can incorporate several different things, from cyber-attacks to natural incidents like flooding to hardware failure and plain human error. These instances can strike at any time and without warning. Are you prepared for the fallout? Do you have processes in place to ensure that your business can be back in operation as quickly as possible?
While the initial outlay of implementing disaster recovery processes may be considerably high, the results of not having it in place could be the more costly option by far.

While most don’t like to consider that anything could go wrong, the reality is that the risk is ever-looming. The recent increase in cyber-attacks through the likes of ransomware has brought the need for disaster recovery to the forefront once more. Planning, considering what might happen and putting a strategy in place to secure or retrieve data should the need arise is an imperative task for any business today and should include the following steps:
- Compile a specific list of hardware on-site that will act as your inventory. Hardware is usually the root cause of any failure. It is a good idea to make use of standardised hardware. In doing, it becomes easier to reimage or recreate new hardware at a lower cost.
- Back up any software which is vital to the effective running of business processes. Do the same for any software required to carry out repairs to the systems.
- Your disaster recovery plan (DRP) should form part of your business continuity plan. Make this available for all levels to view openly.
- Test the strategy, not once, but regularly.
- Build your recovery strategies around the presumption that critical system components are compromised.
- Immediately contact all key personnel as well as those who form part of the disaster recovery team.
- Carry out repairs required to the hardware and locate the necessary components.
- Communicate with clients who may be affected by the breach or disaster.
- Deal with financial and legal implications immediately.
