What is a Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR)?
As a business owner or medical practice manager, you may have come across the acronym BDR which stands for Backup and Disaster Recovery.
BDR is a combination of data backup and disaster recovery solutions, put together to optimize your chance total recovery in the timeliest manner.
Business disasters vary in magnitude and extent of damage, but the damage from any disaster can be minimized by being properly prepared with a BDR plan. Examples of business disasters include but are not limited to cyberattacks, technical difficulties, and environmental disasters.
Disasters Don’t Discriminate
One major mistake many businesses are making is thinking that because they are locally based or have a small number of employees means disasters won’t touch them. Rather, it’s the big corporations that fall victim to disaster resulting in data loss and other complications. We know from firsthand experience that law practices, medical practices, and businesses experience cyberattacks, water damage from leaks or fires, and other problems.
