The Business Continuity Continuum From Backup to Replication to Disaster Recovery

ServerCent ra l

Key Questions to Ask

ServerCent ra l

LET’S START WITH BACKUP

What access protocols are supported?

Are physical or virtual appliances / agents deployed?

How can I connect to the backup environment?

Is the backup environment production-ready?

Do you store multiple copies of my data?

ServerCent ra l

NOW LET’S LOOK AT REPLICATION

What RPO / RTO windows are supported?

Are fail-over compute resources available on-demand?

Can I replicate physical and virtual environments?

Is replication possible at the data and application levels?

Can I regularly execute fail-over tests?

ServerCent ra l

NOW LET’S LOOK AT DRaaS

In the event of a disaster, who is really on-hand to help?

Are there standard RPO / RTO targets we should adhere to?

Are hybrid (physical and virtual) environments supported?

Do you run full disaster event tests? If so, how frequently?

Are my security & compliance policies adhered to in event of a

disaster? Are they adhered to during recovery, too?
