Disaster Recovery Planning

The primary objective of a Disaster Recovery Plan is to enable an organization to survive a disaster and re-establish normal operations.

In order to survive, critical operations must resume within a reasonable time frame so that business interruption is minimal.

Popular belief indicates that this plan deals strictly with the information technology side of a business however; there is more to a business than just its computers.

The goals of your Disaster Recovery Plan should be to:

Identify weaknesses/potential threats and implement a disaster prevention program;

Minimize the duration of a serious disruption to business operations;

Facilitate effective co-ordination of recovery tasks; and

Reduce the complexity of the recovery effort.

The best time to plan your recovery is BEFORE the disaster strikes.
