Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery for Small- and Medium-Sized Businesses

Abstract

Small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face a unique set of challenges when it comes to disaster preparedness. In order to create a disaster recovery plan for SMBs, it is important to understand how disaster preparedness is being accomplished at smaller organizations in light of the fact that disasters can strike anyone at any time. This chapter discusses the current state of SMB disaster preparedness and provides several case studies demonstrating how SMBs of different sizes and from different industries have used both traditional and newer cloud-based recovery strategies to keep their businesses operating after a disaster.
