BACKUP AND DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
Backup and Disaster Recovery Plan
The paper is based on data collection and analysis phase of the research study. It provides
the original information that is gathered, stored along with accessed during the course of the
research study along with final report on the research findings. The selected data analysis for this
study is “Mixed methods data analysis” which means it involves of analyzing data from
quantitative and qualitative approaches. The strategy for analyzing the data and timing of its
analysis are driven by entire rationale and purpose of the study.
Tasks to be performed this week related to advance in research project
In this week, we are going to do data collection and analysis for gathering information
from primary and secondary sources to fill the research gap. Sometimes, there is data loss into
the computer server, and then it affects the business which may result into shut down. Backup
and disaster recovery plan helps to ensure that those catastrophic events are not destroying the
organization. While collecting of data, the researcher learns many advantages of backup and
disaster recovery plan to find out the best backup option against the data loss.
Collection of data using mixed data analysis
Mixed data collection method is used to collect data on selected research topic. The
mixed approach is consisted of quantitative and qualitative information. Into the quantitative
approach, the data are obtained using online survey of the populations. The recorded data are
important to consist of detailed information to reduce the data loss issues in the organization. The
researcher collected qualitative information from interview of the participants (Aldrich, 2016).
The goal of collecting data is to capture proper research evidence which allows leading

formulation of convinces and realistic answers to the research questions. After collection of the
data using mixed methods, those are summarized and analyzed to draw the research findings. It
is better to summarize the information for identifying the patterns.
Analyze the data
The researcher tried to illustrate the data analysis of IT organization’s backup and
disaster recovery plan. With help of mixed analysis, the data analysis helps the researcher to
perform research process for increasing quality of the information and making of better analysis
for the selected research topic. Mair, Ritchie and Walters (2016) pointed that the analyzed data
helps to implement of theoretical knowledge into practical application. Hsu, Howitt and Miller
(2015) stated that data analysis is involved of complexities along with limitations. The
respondents those are considered for the data collection are employees and managers of IT
organization such that detailed information are extracted from the research work.
Quantitative analysis: In this section, the data sources are retrieved from the employees
of IT organization are considered such that the researcher can understand the influence of backup
and disaster recovery plan on the organization to solve data loss issues (Chang, 2015). The total
respondents involved into this section are 20 as others are not interested to provide their
feedback. Therefore, the employees are sample of the study.
