"We have backups" is one of the most common things a business owner says right before a data loss turns into a real crisis. Having backup files is not the same as having a tested recovery plan that actually gets a business back online quickly.
A real recovery plan answers specific questions: how long would it take to restore critical systems, who is responsible for each step, and has the process actually been tested rather than just assumed to work. A lot of backup systems have never been tested until the day they're needed, which is the worst possible time to find out something is missing.
For Gwinnett-area businesses, the difference between backups and a recovery plan can be the difference between a bad afternoon and a bad month. It's worth knowing which one your business actually has.
If your main system went down today, do you know how long it would take to get back to normal?
