Disaster Planning: Backup, Backup, Backup!
Date: 08/27/2009
Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Pacific Time
Cost: FREE
Host: Techsoup
Presenters: Chris Shipley, Nutmeg Consulting; Zac Mutrux, Sarai; Ana-Marie Jones, Collaborating Agencies Responding to Disasters; Becky Wiegand, TechSoup Global
Description: At TechSoup, we believe that when it comes to maintaining continuity of your organization’s services, that backup is essential to following the Boy Scout’s golden rule to “be prepared.” Beyond major natural disasters, a variety of regional, local, and office-centered emergencies might compromise your ability to get work done and continue conducting business as usual for your supporters, clients, users, and community.
What happens if a water main breaks and floods your office? Or a nearby wildfire knocks out your phone and Internet access? What if a staff person simply loses a laptop with critical info? Maybe losing a day of work won’t hurt too much, but what if that extends to 3 days, two weeks, or months? Backup systems are essential to keeping your important data and critical services running. In this free TechSoup Talks! webinar, TechSoup’s Becky Wiegand will interview several nonprofit consultants about the different types of backup options including hardware, portable devices, and hosted services. This will be an introduction to backup systems for emergency planning and won’t cover in-depth evaluations of specific services or tools.
