Online stores, corporate services, accounting systems, document management, CRM and ERP — today, everything operates through digital platforms. Any downtime means not just a technical error, but direct financial losses.

Disaster recovery (DR) is a strategy and technological process for restoring IT systems after failures, disasters, attacks, and other critical incidents. Having a disaster recovery plan is not a "bonus" but an essential element of business continuity, especially if you work with online customers, process personal or financial data, or support mission-critical services.

Disaster Recovery: Why It's Necessary

Disaster recovery is a set of measures aimed at quickly restoring IT infrastructure after an accident. In the business environment, it is often referred to as emergency recovery or simply DR. What it includes:

• Data backup;
• Organization of remote (backup) data centers;
• Automation of failover to backup infrastructure;
• A clear action plan during failures — a disaster recovery plan.

It's important to understand: disaster recovery is not just backup, but a complete process of returning IT systems to an operational state with minimal loss of time, data, and resources.

What a Disaster Recovery Plan Includes

A disaster recovery plan is a documented response scenario for IT emergencies. It defines:

• Which data and systems are critical;
• Potential risks and threat sources (viruses, power failures, administrator errors, cyberattacks);
• Acceptable recovery time frames (RTO/RPO);
• Infrastructure recovery steps;
• Responsible persons and communication channels.

A DR plan prevents chaos, minimizes downtime, and keeps business processes operational.

Typical Threats to IT Infrastructure

Emergency recovery is required in cases of server, storage, or network equipment failure, as well as data center malfunctions (overheating, power outages), and software update errors.

Problems can arise from employee actions (unintentional or malicious), third-party virus or ransomware attacks, large-scale cyberattacks, or even natural disasters — all of which require a recovery plan.

Even if your systems run on highly reliable equipment, no one is immune to unforeseen circumstances. Disaster recovery is insurance for your business.
