Your Data, Exposed
Filed in archive Security by Lori Widmer on August 09, 2007

So how do you get back up and running after an outage or a disaster-related event? That's the topic discussed in an article published by Data Storage Today. While the article addresses mostly the urgency of the situation, it touches on one of the most important aspects of securing data - offsite storage. I've long been an advocate of offsite storage procedures, but have often wondered just how well these procedures are thought out. For instance, if you're in the path of a hurricane, and you've chosen to house your data at an offsite facility three miles away, chances are you haven't planned well enough.
Common sense should rule. Offsite, in most cases, should be far enough away that the same natural event will not take out your data, as well.
