Disaster Recovery Service for Law Firms

The world seems to be under an unrelenting series of disasters. No organization or business is immune to the threat of data and IT infrastructure breaches.

So, this question lingers; Is your law firm prepared to recover the sensitive information under its stewardship in case of a devastating disaster?

Implement a robust backup and recovery plan before you’re thrown into a catastrophic loss of money and time in one fell swoop.

We’ve created a concise post to help you choose a suitable data recovery service for your law firm. Read on to discover the three popular DRaaS options for protecting data and IT infrastructure against risks, such as:

· Fire

· Floods

· Earthquakes

· Equipment failure

· Power outage

· Ransomware

· Hurricane

How Disaster Recovery will Work for Your Law Firm

Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) creates a backup of your data and IT infrastructure in third-party remote servers away from your premises. A convenient DRaaS will enable your law firm staff and users to access your data to ensure service continuity during a disruptive event. Typically, you’ll subscribe to a third-party backup and recovery service such as Rojan, which will act as an intermediary between your office server and the remote cloud computer.

The DRaaS provider will be responsible for:

· Software development and deployment

· System testing and monitoring

· Technical assistance

· System restoration

· Data recovery

The Benefits of Disaster Recovery as Service

1 – Saves Time

If a disaster damages your law firm’s IT infrastructure, you can seamlessly continue operating from the cloud server via your service provider’s portal.

2 – Saves Money

Buying and maintaining backup equipment will cost you top dollar. To that, add the administrative and technical staff’s remuneration to oversee its day-to-day operation.

In contrast, you can opt to only pay for a DRaaS when you need it (pay-per-use), or go the subscription way. Whichever package you choose, it’ll be far cheaper than doing your data backup and recovery in-house.

Disaster Recovery Models

1 – Managed Disaster Recovery

If your law firm prefers an engage-and-forget kind of arrangement with a DRaaS provider, managed disaster recovery should be your favorite model. The service provider takes up the entire data, application, and infrastructure backup and recovery functions in this delivery system.

However, you’ll still receive regular activity logs to stay abreast and make necessary requests.

2 – Assisted Disaster as a Service

In the assisted disaster model, your law firm will undertake some or most of the data backup and recovery activities. Then the DRaaS provider will complement your firm with technical support and optimizations.

So, if you’ve got staff members who can execute the entire or part of the data backup and recovery function, then assisted disaster as a service model will work best for you.

3 – Self-Service Disaster as a Service

You’ll design the data backup and recovery plan in a self-service disaster model. Then you’ll build an offsite virtual environment to host your law firm’s data and infrastructure backup.

The DRaaS provider’s role will involve testing and managing your plan to ensure an instant shift to the virtual computers during a disaster. If your staff can device such a complex plan and nurture it to this extent, then self-service disaster as a service is your alternative.
