Keep a business running on its hardest day.
Business continuity is the practice of staying ready to serve customers through any disruption, and recovery brings the systems and the data back to a healthy state. In this short lesson you meet a small recovery appliance, the kind a business keeps on site to protect its files and to bring them back quickly.
The plan that keeps a business open and serving people while a disruption is handled in the background.
The steps that restore the systems and the data to a known healthy point so work continues with confidence.
