1. Data Backup |
|
|
In the event of a natural disaster or rolling blackouts, it is critical to backup of your data. For many foreign subsidiaries, there are an increasing number of parent companies who perform backups of their subsidiary’s data. If this is not being performed at your company, preparations should be made to backup the data periodically. The importance of the backup data should be considered in developing the frequency, location of the data and types of hardware. |
|
|
For sudden power outages, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems can keep crucial systems running for a short period of time. If blackouts are expected for over 30 minutes (e.g. rolling blackouts), portable generators should be considered. If you have an analog telephone line, analog telephones could be useful since it does not require electricity. |
