“We’ll Figure It Out” Isn’t a Disaster Recovery Plan
Alan Baggett has watched too many Oregon businesses treat disaster recovery as an afterthought, right up until wildfire smoke or an evacuation order actually happens.
Q1: What does a real disaster recovery plan include?
A tested backup and restore process, a clear list of critical systems in priority order, and a documented plan for staff to work remotely if the office is inaccessible.
Q2: How is this different from just having backups?
Backups are one piece. A full plan also covers how to actually get back to work — remote access, communication with staff and clients, and priority order for restoring systems.
Q3: How often should a disaster recovery plan be tested?
At least annually — an untested plan often reveals gaps only when it’s actually needed, which is the worst possible time to find out.
Q4: How does DirecTech help Oregon businesses prepare?
We build the plan, test it under simulated conditions, and make sure remote access works before wildfire season puts it to a real test.
Final Word
A disaster recovery plan you’ve never tested is just a document. Testing it is what makes it actually useful when you need it.
