Business Continuity:

"...disasters take many forms. They're caused by gale force winds, sudden floods, releases of deadly chemicals, fire, ice, even upheavals of the earth itself. When disaster strikes, the best protection is knowing what to do..." FEMA

In today's highly complex and technologically dependent business world, a Disaster Recovery Plan is an integral part of any company.

According to a study by the University of Texas Centre for Research on Information Systems, nearly half the companies that lose their data in a disaster never reopen, and 90% are out of business within two years. In order to be prepared you need to have a Disaster Recovery Plan in place that will ensure that your valuable data is safeguarded and that should the necessity arise, that the integrity of your data is sound. 

Many companies have some system whereby regular backups and virus scans are done, but often the integrity of the backup data is never checked and the virus protection used is out of date. This can often cause the backup to fail when needed.
