ERP downtime is not a technology problem — it is a business problem. This disaster recovery framework ensures your business can survive the worst.
Recovery Time Objective and Recovery Point Objective
RTO is how long you can tolerate ERP being down. RPO is how much data loss you can accept. These two numbers define your backup and recovery strategy — more aggressive requirements cost more.
Backup Strategy: 3-2-1 Rule
Three copies of data, on two different media types, with one copy offsite. Cloud ERP providers typically implement this automatically — but verify your provider's backup strategy and restoration SLAs before you need them.
Failover and Business Continuity
If ERP is unavailable, how does the business operate? Every critical process should have a documented manual fallback procedure — even if it is inefficient — to bridge the recovery period.
Testing Your Recovery Plan
A disaster recovery plan that has never been tested is a plan that probably won't work. Annual DR tests — actually restoring from backup to a test environment — prove the plan and identify gaps before they matter.
