3. It’s cheaper to backup your data 100 times than it is to lose it once

It’s all about the data
• Your backup plan needs to cover:– What's being backed up – Where it's being backed up – How often backups will occur – Who's in charge of performing backups – Who's in charge of monitoring the success of these
backups
• Make sure it’s easy to reference and access

It’s all about the data
• Imagine a typical work-day by your key staff– Obvious: email, donor data, financials– Not-so-obvious: bookmarks, network data,
website passwords
• Increasingly dispersed workforce means there’s more to lose

Bring Your Own Device
• “Consumerization” not a new phenomenon in the nonprofit sector
• Pros and Cons to disaster planning– Extra access point for data and connectivity– Personal and work data gets commingled
• Liability and insurance• Best practice: keep less data locally

Backup and the cloud
• Online backup ≠ Online storage– Backup: focus on automation, scheduling,
recovery
– Storage: focus on sharing between users and clients, syncing

What about security?
• Cloud/online mitigates a different type of disaster risk
• Likely more secure than local, but the potential is always there
• Understand the risk and compliance needs before diving in

What about security?
• Local backup: Encrypt as much as you can• Levels of encryption
• Program level file encryption

What about security?
• Operating system drive encryption• BitLocker, TrueCrypt
• Full-disk encryption• Most relevant for data loss protection• Should not be at the cost of
recoverability• Don’t forget physical security!

Documentation
• Hard copies of the “What”– Warranties and receipts for computers and peripherals – Passwords for encrypted data – Contact information for anyone who maintains your tech – Login information for local devices and online services– Contact information for web hosting and backup services– Software registration information, including keys– Insurance information– Leases
• Remember to update this info!

Documentation
• Policies and the “How”– Your backup plan– Your restore plan– A phone tree that includes home and cell phone
numbers for all staff– Meeting locations in the event of a disaster

Post-disaster communications
• For internal stakeholders:– Limit the points of contact– Communicate succinct and relevant information– Phased recovery if necessary– Scheduled updates– (Re)Defining normalcy

Post-disaster communications
• For external stakeholders– Constituents: how will interruption of services
affect them? – If site outage, maintain your presence using social
media– Funders: will there be missed deadlines?– Supporters: how can they help?

Disaster toolbox
• “Real” and “digital”• Documentation• Data backups• Startup disc• Duplicate keys (physical and digital)

Planning exercise
• What have you done already? What needs work?
• Disasters encountered? Stories from the field?
• What’s the first thing you will do when you return?
