Disaster recovery defined
Disaster recovery (DR) is the set of policies, technologies, and procedures that let an organization restore IT infrastructure and data after major incidents: widespread hardware failure, ransomware, datacenter loss, or large network outages.
DR differs from daily backup. Backup answers “do we have a copy?”; DR answers “how fast can the business run again, and how fresh is the data?”
Core DR program components
Enterprise DR programs typically include: critical workload inventory, RTO/RPO targets per application, replication or restore strategy, failover runbooks, scheduled DR tests, and incident roles.
Without restore or failover drills, DR exists only on paper — not as operational capability.
Link to backup and cybersecurity
Backup and immutable copies are the recovery foundation. Cybersecurity (firewall, endpoint, segmentation) reduces how often full-scale DR is triggered.
Intilogy designs end-to-end DR — from assessment through Veeam implementation, replication, and incident coordination.
Frequently asked questions
Is DR only for large enterprises?
No. SMBs with ERP, email, or digital operations also need agreed recovery targets — solution scale is what changes.
