Bring your own disaster recovery (BYODR)

摘要

Disaster recovery solutions are critical for businesses. The disaster recovery solutions range from fairly simple offsite storage solutions to fairly complex real-time replication systems. This paper investigates the use of mobile devices as a collective storage location that can be used in case of a disaster. The solution makes use of the Neo devices described in the Neo Model. The Neo devices connect with the corporate backup system through a virtual private network. The backup system ensures backup data is divided into smaller data packets and distributed to the Neo devices. The Neo devices can be used in case of a disaster to rebuild the corporate backup system, which in turn can then be used to recover the corporate systems.
