Welcome

Hi all,

My name is Peter and I'll be your host through the wonderful world of Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Management.

I've been working in IT for over 28 years as a "worker bee" and over the years I've had the pleasure of experiencing many near "disasters". Thankfully all have worked out well, usually due to good luck and dedicated staff, rather than thought out and documented processes and procedures.

In my time spent in IT, I have noticed the changes in Disaster Recovery thinking, from backing up data to floppy disk and tape and "cold," disaster recovery site, through to current strategies of virtualization, clustering, multiple data centres, "cloud" technologies and alternate working arrangements.

While this blog will have an IT focus, the thoughts and strategies presented can be used across all areas of a business.

Over time, I hope to pass on my experiences, lessons learned, pitfalls to be wary of and latest trends in Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Management. Using this information, I hope I can provide information that will assist you in dealing with your own "disasters".
