Current Data Backup
How are you currently backing up data today? Please describe further if you wish. For example, what hardware manufacturer or what media size (20/40GB Travan or 36/72 DLT), etc.:
Did you back up your data in the last 24 hours?:
Did you or someone in your business review the logs to see if it worked?:
Did you take your backup disk or tape offsite in the last 24 hours?:
Have you tested your restore capability in the last 30 days?:
Do you have a written data backup policy and procedure?:
Are you 100% confident that your business and client/patient data can be restored?:
Are you confident that all critical business data is being stored on your servers rather than on desktop or laptop computers and/or is being properly backed up?:
Have you discussed and agreed upon a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for your business; that is, how long you can afford to be 'down'?:
Have you discussed and agreed upon a Recovery Point Objective (RTO) for your business; that is, can you afford to lose a day's, half-day's, hour's, couple-hour's worth of data'?:
Do you have an overall disaster recover / business continuity plan?:
Chief Data Backup Challenges and Concerns:
Over the years, our clients have shared the chief data backup concerns or challenges or what keeps them awake at night regarding data backup and data recovery? Using a scale of 1 to 5, please indicate the extent to which any of the concerns listed below are concerns for you/your business: (1 = not really a concern/challenge; 5 = very serious concern/challenge)
Getting data/backup tapes or disks offsite on a consistent, regular basis:
Tape or disk drive/media reliability and recoverability; actual ability to recover from tape or disks:
Being able to do fast, easy data restores:
Assured data backup and recovery:
'Window of Exposure'; data can be lost between backups and we can't afford to lose day's worth of work:
Unproductive use of staff time; redeploy IT and other staff for higher value-added tasks:
Protection against disaster/total site loss/unavailability; e.g., fire, electrical outage, tornado, etc.:
Growing data backup requirements and burdens; additional staffing or constant DB cleanup or backups during day:
Backup window constraint; not enough time to back up all our data off hours:
Backing up open files and databases; e.g., SQL DBs, Exchange, Oracle DBs:
HIPAA-HITECH, GLBA, SOX or other Regulatory Compliance:
Is it really working?; Lack of knowledge of tape or disk drive software and hardware (Veritas / tape carousel / Flash Drives, etc.):
Excessive time for tape and/or disk drive management - uncertainty about reliability:
What our recovery time may actually be:
Lack of security in taking tape backups to/from home or offsite storage location:
Lack of encryption of data if tapes are stolen:
Cost of all tape expenses versus poor tape restore track record - ROI:
Please tell us of any other data backup concerns, challenges or problems you may have:
In how many months do you plan on making a backup decision?
Number of Months:
How many office/plant locations require backup protection?
