To protect your critical data business is to understand the value and therefore the risk associated with the loss of that data. The term loss can be viewed from two opposite but related perspectives. The first is the loss of data related to synchronous transactions measured in milliseconds. The second is the loss of data measured as a permanent loss of data. What is important is to understand the single points of failure, the value of the data to be recovered, and to compare this value against the cost of an overall Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Plan.
