What is disaster prevention and recovery?

Disaster prevention is a proactive strategy focused on controls to ensure that a disaster does not happen.

Disaster recovery focuses on controls in place in case a disaster does happen.

Why do I need to backup?

Power outages, natural disasters, accidental shutdowns and computer hackings.

Hardware failure, damage, or theft can wipe away your precious photos, documents, and music collection without a trace.
