James Byron Disaster PreventiON AND recovery
Disaster Prevention • Many fewer people worry about disaster prevention then disaster recovery, because the problems have not yet arisen.
Disasters: • Natural – Fire, Tornado, Ice, Earthquakes, Floods • Technical – Hardware, Application or Operating System Failure, Power Outage • Human – Computer Crime, Terrorism, Error
Class Discussion • Brainstorm some possible ways to prevent potential data loss
Have a Disaster Prevention Plan • Be proactive and avoid a disaster before it happens! • Choose a decent location for your business or residence • Monitor and maintain your computers and technology
What Should You Monitor and Maintain? • Daily Back-Ups • E-Mail • Remote Access • Viruses and Spyware • Security Patches and Updates • Hard Drive Health
Disaster Recovery • Wikipedia Definition: • The process, policies and procedures of restoring critical business operations after a natural or human-induced disaster: • Data (records, hardware, software, etc.) • Communications (incoming, outgoing, toll-free, fax, etc.) • Workspace • Other business processes
Have a Disaster Recovery Plan • What might be in this plan? • Different disaster classifications • The responsibilities of each party addressed • Instructions on how to recover endangered assets • Any necessary contact information
Objectives of a DRP • Sense of security • Minimize • Confusion • System downtime and recovery time • Decision-making (emotions) • Loss of assets
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server Portals - A personal MySite portal allows you to share information with others and personalize the experience and content of an enterprise Web site based on the user’s profile. • Disaster Recovery Tools • SharePoint Portal Server Data Backup and Restore tool • This graphical tool is responsible for recovery operations at the portal level. • SharePoint Configuration Analyzer • Not a recovery tool itself. • It can provide valuable information to help you map out a recovery strategy.
Microsoft Office SharePoint (continued) • General Backup Tools • SQL Enterprise Manager • IISBack.vbs • Backs up the IIS metabase. • Without a functional IIS metabase, all portal content is inaccessible.
Telecordia • Who are they? • One of the “foremost providers of software and services for IP, wireline, wireless, and cable networks.” • What do they provide? • Preemptive procedures and strategies • Rapid disaster response • Technical Documentation • Secure Internet Access to Electronic Documentation from Telcordia
Benefits to Using a Company Like Telecordia • Expertise (established in 1920) • History of recovering in the wake of major disasters (i.e. 9/11, San Francisco Earthquake) • Reduction of recovery costs • Technical support and counsel on legal cases and property claims (over $60 million)
Be Prepared • The best way to implement a DRP is through practice and simulation • If people are unaware of what the DRP consists of, it will NOT be successful, and will have been a waste of time • Disasters can happen at ANY TIME!
In Conclusion • Disaster Prevention • Disaster can occur at any time, be prepared • Practice and Simulation • Disaster Recovery • Telecordia • Microsoft SharePoint Server • Any Questions?
