Disaster Recovery Assignment
You are the administrator for your team in a small IT services company named Skillage I.T.
You are tasked with formulating a disaster recovery plan for the organisation. The organisation's 20 staff are reliant on Email and a database online application that contains all customer records and billing information. Each of the users enjoys individual desktop settings and application dashboards regardless of which PC they use. The business uses the internet extensively in its operations.
Skillage I.T. only offers support to its customers Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm. The contingency policy for the company states that you must be able to restore quickly in the event of a failure and use only one tape media to restore all data.
Finance has also flagged an issue that some billing information must be kept for the duration of the financial year.
You decide that you need to plan a backup schedule that needs to describe the frequency and type of backups that will be required and the storage location and quantity of the tapes.
You also decide that you should bullet point some risk mitigation strategies for the systems.
List threats that could impact any of the important data listed above.
Briefly describe the applications and files that you will backup...
Which, if any, data listed as important may be subject to legislative or regulatory constraints?
