What Is Disaster Recovery?

Firstly, Disaster Recovery is a strategic approach to restoring IT operations and data access after an unexpected outage, cyberattack, or natural disaster. At KLR, our Disaster Recovery services ensure your business continuity by minimizing downtime and safeguarding your critical information.

Why Disaster Recovery Matters

Because downtime can cost companies thousands per minute, having a solid recovery plan in place ensures resilience and operational stability in any crisis.

How Disaster Recovery Works

Secondly, disaster recovery involves replicating systems and data to secure locations. In the event of failure, systems are restored from these backups to maintain business continuity.

Key Recovery Mechanisms

  • Regular system backups and replication
  • Cloud-based recovery environments
  • Failover and rollback procedures
  • Crisis response playbooks

Part Of A Bigger Picture

We pair disaster recovery with Cloud Backup, Remote Management, and Anti-Ransomware for holistic protection.
