Although almost all UK companies back up their critical IT systems and data, more than a quarter of them still do not have a disaster recovery plan in place. Half of those that do have plans, fail to test them. Also, 15% of companies do not take their backups off-site.

This is despite the fact that 92% of businesses now consider disaster recovery planning an important driver of their IT expenditure.
