Disaster recovery plans can range greatly from simple CD-R based backup strategies to online storage to hard disk mirroring to multi-phase incremental/differential timestamp rotations. Every disaster recovery plan is different and offers certain benefits and disadvantages depending on the target market.
 Many audio/video businesses that utilize large amounts of data typically use hard-disk based storage recovery. ISP and most hosting companies use multi phase incremental backups. Your home or business needs determine the type of plan to implement.
Many residential customers are content with weekly backups. Businesses that host their own servers (such as Exchange or Lotus Notes) need to backup daily at a minimum to avoid loss of critical email. Enterprise businesses often have a synchronized remote site that can be activated should a natural disaster strike a headquarters or datacenter location.

'With Power Comes Responsibility ...'
As the technology grows on an exponential rate, so does the need to protect one’s assets and intellectual property. Platform redundancy and high availability systems protect access to critical data, but do not offer any help when the present data is already corrupt or out synch from several hours or several days back. Critical but periodically used documents such as monthly ledgers or quarterly reports are typically essential for today’s business cycles, but what happens when someone notices that the 26 day old report that is to be modified is incorrect? Businesses without contingent disaster recovery plans must then go through the tedious, time consuming, and often expensive process of potentially recreating a document from scratch.

Disaster recovery is every bit as important to the residential sector as it is to the enterprise. Pictures, emails, video, contacts, documents, databases (such as Quicken or MS Money), spreadsheets, and calendars can all be lost with a faulty hard drive, virus, power surge, or an illegal operating system operation. .
Additionally, applications, internet shortcuts, cookies (and operating system saved usernames and passwords), windows profiles and settings would all be lost in case of a disaster. One can put together a solid disaster recovery plan for under a hundred dollars using a DVD burner and Microsoft built-in backup and recovery tools. Make sure you’re covered. Online disaster recovery plans from Vitalix Solutions start as little as $5 per month.
