Re: Disaster Planning

I believe you pretty much covered all reasonable angles.

Hello... Just looking for some feedback on disaster planning. Read a blog
post yesterday on taznetworks regarding the Trend Micro "Email Reputation
Service". Sounds similar to Vlad's Exchange Defender (Have not subscribed
to
either). This got me thinking about what other SBSr's are doing and/or
plan
to do when a disaster happens.

What steps should a small/mid business do beyond daily backups and hoping
for the best?

I backup to tape daily and to HDD on Monday, Wed, and Friday. I have an HP
ML350 with Raid 5 with a hot spare. Also have a backup redundant power
just
in case. What other steps could or should be taken?

I've also looked into a redundant Internet connection however this became
too difficult and expensive to install. What else is there to consider??

Any thoughts appreciated.
