One simple question to ask yourself to determine whether your business needs a backup and disaster recovery plan:

“Can my business continue to function without my critical data, applications and operations?” No is the only answer.

Let’s face it, at some point your data will be at risk. It could be a machine error, a human error, a virus or even a natural disaster.

3. Easily located management contact information
4. Explanation of where personnel should go if there is a disastrous event
