How likely is it that disaster could touch your company? If you think of disaster only in terms of natural disasters or
massive hardware failures, then disaster might not seem very close at hand. If, however, you consider disaster in terms
of anything that could stop the company from functioning for an undetermined length of time, then the notion of disaster
is more common. The disasters that could slow or stop your company are not limited to network or data-related problems or
even to events that happen at your site.
No one likes to think about the possibility of the network or the file server going down indefinitely, but it's better to
dwell on this depressing possibility beforehand than to explain afterward to the boss why you weren't prepared for data
loss.
