Hurricane Season IT: A Disaster Recovery Plan for Coastal SC Businesses
Every Charleston business owner knows the drill when a storm enters the Atlantic. But while you're boarding up and topping off the generator, is your data protected? Physical preparation without a technology continuity plan leaves a dangerous gap.
The three questions a continuity plan answers
- Recovery Point: How much data can you afford to lose? (Your backup frequency.)
- Recovery Time: How long can you be down? (Your restore speed.)
- Access: Where will your team work if the office loses power for a week?
Cloud-first resilience
Businesses that moved core systems to the cloud before recent storms were able to keep operating from wherever their people evacuated to. Off-site, redundant infrastructure turns a regional outage into a minor inconvenience instead of an existential threat.
Common questions
How often should backups run?
It depends on how much data you can afford to re-create. Many Lowcountry businesses land on continuous or hourly backups for critical systems, with tested restores at least quarterly.
