The first question will eliminate providers who are offering you a disaster recovery plan that isn’t tailored to your needs. This question will help you narrow down your remaining options.
Budget and personnel have a tremendous impact on which type of data recovery solution you are able to work with. It might be easy for the IT provider to say that you will need everything backed up and restored within an hour, but that will not come cheap. Perhaps you need off-site storage or encrypted storage for certain data, but other information is open to plain text storage or on-site storage.
Make sure that your provider is able to offer you methods that meet your budget, but also your requirements, so you can choose what works best for your organization.
