Disaster Recovery Planning

Disaster recovery is the process, policies and procedures related to preparing for recovery or continuation of technology infrastructure critical to an organization after a natural or human-induced disaster.  The time it takes you to get your business up and running after a disaster strikes, may significantly impact your bottom line.

Questions to ask yourself:

• When was the last time you tested your backups?
• Do you have a plan for hardware replacement?
• How will you service your customers? phones? data communications?
• How will you invoice?
• Where are your backup and recovery tapes?
• Who is assigned to take your backup tapes off-site?
• Can you confidently restore all of your servers in case of disaster?
• How long would it take to get your business up and running again?

The importance of disaster recovery planning has long been recognized and is a very important part of business continuity planning.  

Disaster recovery planning involves a series of actions and procedures that minimize the adverse affects of major unplanned outages, or downtown, and can result from events such as:

• Attacks by hackers
• Computer viruses and worms.
• Power failures
• Natural disasters
• System administration errors
• Employee sabotage

Disaster recovery planning is a subset of a larger process known as business continuity planning.  The concept of business continuity (disaster recovery planning) involves insuring your organization's critical business processes, including its IT infrastructure, can be maintained in the event of a disaster.
