When implementing Business Continuity the preservation of company data comes first.

Business Continuity Plan/Strategies are those measures that a company puts in place to ensure that regardless of the threat, and or disruption to the existing model that allows them to provide goods or services, (e.g. tsunamis or earthquakes, riots and civil unrests, compulsory government curfew) they can continue to function, reach their customers and remain operational.

The first rule of Business Continuity Plan is to protect all information assets. Off-site data or information refer to those information and or data that are remotely stored. That is, they are secured far away from the physical location of the business such as a data or server farm, cloud storage etc.

Onsite data storage refers to storing data on the premises or site of the business. Some fo the tools used are Hard Disk Drivers, Solid State Drives, DVDs etc.
