Disaster Recovery for the SMB

Disaster Recovery planning can be an enormous, but necessary undertaking for a company. A survey released this month reported that 59% of SMBs have no disaster recover plan.

They can help you identify the things that need to be covered. There are also many good resources on the Internet. Here are a few to get you started.
