Disaster Planning and Recovery
Are you a business owner? If so, we know you’re busy so we recommend that you send this page to someone in your company you trust. Have them review our suggestions versus what you do now. Pick someone who is organized and thorough. Don’t pick your current IT person. Pick someone who can take a fresh look at how you prepare and ask the right questions.
At Acarte’ Technology, one of our primary objectives is to help protect our customers from the unexpected. With proper planning, we can avoid many of the threats that could impact our businesses. Of course, we can’t keep your office from getting swept away by a storm surge or tornado, but we can show you the steps that can protect your valuable business data and get you back up and running faster after a storm or other disaster.
