1. What makes disaster recovery so challenging?
“Post-mortem analysis of the failure of Delta’s computer systems pointed to a power surge in a transformer and a failure to switch over to backup infrastructure. This was a 20th-century equipment glitch that brought the biggest and best U.S. airline to its knees.” Nearly700 flights cancelled. Forbes – August 11, 2016.
Top 5 Data Protection Challenges
1. Sub-par disaster recovery strategy
