Back on Your Feet You are working for GetSmart, a document creation company for legal professionals. Due to the highly sensitive nature of their work, employees must store all information on the network drive and are not allowed to back up the data to a CD, flash drive, or any other type of external storage, including home computers. The company has been following this policy for the past three years without any problems. You return to work Monday morning after a long weekend to find that the building was struck by lightning, destroying several servers.
Unfortunately, the backup network also failed, so all the data from your department have been lost. Because of this loss, the MIS manager and four colleagues who developed the company backup policy were fired. You have been placed on a committee with several of your peers to revamp the backup and recovery policies and create a new disaster recovery plan.
You must create policies and procedures that will preserve the sensitive nature of the documents, while ensuring the company is safe from disasters. Be sure to address a worst-case scenario where the entire building is lost.
