Abstract

The migration from centralized mainframe computers to distributed client/server systems has created a concern on data security. If a disaster occurs to an organization that destroys a server or the entire network, a company may not be able to recover from the loss. Developing an effective disaster recovery plan will help an organization protect them from data loss.
