7 out of 10 small firms that experience a major data loss go out of business within a year. (DTI/Price waterhouse Coopers)

50% of all tape backups fail to restore. (Gartner) 25% of all PC users suffer from data loss each year (Gartner)

Definitions..Disaster Recovery:

 Disaster recovery is the process by which you resume business after a disruptive event. The event might be something huge-like an earthquake or the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center-or something small, like malfunctioning software caused by a computer virus.

Definitions..Business Continuity:

The activity performed by an organization to ensure that critical business functions will be available to customers, suppliers, regulators, and other entities that must have access to those functions.

In other words… "Business continuity planning" suggests a more comprehensive approach to making sure you can keep making money.
