Declaring a Disaster

What is Disaster Declaration?

A disaster declaration is a formal notification process sent to OffsiteDataSync that accomplishes three main functions:

1. It sets the OffsiteDataSync process in motion to restore/recover your data based on your Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP).
2. Automatically boots up standby servers as necessary.
3. Immediately notifies OffsiteDataSync to activate the team we’ve assembled to assist you through your disaster and provide access to your corporate information.

A disaster declaration is major event and should be done so only in the event of a true disaster. The call out fee for a disaster declaration is $1,500.00, billed to your organization upon submission.

Classifications of Disasters:

Disasters can be defined as disk crashes, power failures, human error, and natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, tornados or earthquakes - that will inevitably stop the flow of data at one or more of your facilities.
