| The most important task of a DBA is to be able to recover a database up to the last transaction recorded. This implies an adequate backup strategy that is reliable and does not impact business service. Business Service is the ultimate objective of having a correct DRP in place, when providing correct Business Service Levels the information is recoverable, available, secure, accesible and the current Business resources are used properly without asking the Business to invest in unnecesary equipment.
The worst moment for getting aware of an unefficency in a DRP is when the database needs recovery and the Business Service is down. Typically, creating a correct DRP will cost about 10% of the cost of trying to recover from a database failure (assuming that the database can be restored).
We can help you minimize risks and maximize your Service Level by implementing the DRP that is needed by your Business.
