Common mistakes in disaster recovery planning
Disaster recovery planning is vital to keeping your business running after
unexpected disruptions. However, poor planning and implementation can
undermine the effectiveness of your DR plan. Some common mistakes
include:
• Infrequent DR tests and updates. A recent study by Security
Magazine, for instance, has found that only 50% of organizations
perform annual (or less frequent) DR tests.
• Overlooking potential threats, including cyberattacks, natural
disasters and human errors.
• Failure to align your DR plans with your business continuity goals
and to prioritize critical workloads. One study found that only 54%
of companies surveyed even have a DR plan.
• Underestimating recovery time and not having contingency plans for
potential recovery issues.
