Disaster Recovery: Beyond the Technical Issues
About 20 years ago, I was at a meeting where a film was shown about what happened when a company went through an unexpected disaster. The employees were at the company Christmas party when a fire started in a closet on the other end of the building. This triggered the fire alarm, and the sprinkler system. Everyone evacuated the building, and they weren't allowed back in for over six weeks due to the release of a toxic gas caused by the fire. By the time they could get back into the building, the water damage to desktop computers and paperwork was mostly beyond remediation.
