Customers are unable to place orders, and the support team is stuck without access to the database. Even a few minutes of downtime can lead to losses worth thousands of dollars, and customer trust can be difficult to regain. That\u2019s why implementing a Disaster Recovery (DR) strategy and a solid backup plan is not just a technical task\u2014it\u2019s a survival strategy in today\u2019s competitive market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"743\" data-end=\"1137\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">DR is a predefined contingency plan that enables you to restore critical systems within a set timeframe (RTO) and with minimal data loss (RPO). A well-thought-out backup plan ensures that copies are made regularly, stored securely, and most importantly tested before they are actually needed.
