Each chapter answers one question
Chapter 1: Is backing up everything really the safest plan?
If lost today, which data would stop my company from operating?
Not all data needs to be backed up in the same way.
Chapter 2: Would our backup burn along with the original?
Would my backups survive an office power cut or a malware attack?
A backup stored alongside the original is lost at the same time as the original.
Chapter 3: Having a backup means having the data, right?
When did I last test-restore a backup?
Only a test restore tells you whether a backup actually works.
Chapter 4: When must a recovery plan be written to actually work?
If data were lost tomorrow morning, who does what, in what order?
A plan written in calm times is usable in a panic.
Chapter 5: Our system changes monthly; has the backup plan kept up?
Is my company's newest system included in the backup plan?
Systems change every month, and the backup plan must change with them.
