Creating a Business Disaster Recovery Plan
Summary
Continually test your DPR with the objective of multiple staff personal being familiar with the procedures and goal of reducing recovery time. Depending on the size of your company, the committee should include members from each business unit or key function (i.e. human resources, finance, security, vendor management, and accounting). The initial thing to do when sitting down with your disaster recovery plan committee is to decide on the most important business activities and the applications and data that are needed to support them. A disaster recovery plan is key to minimizing damage and restoring your working environment as quickly as possible if it becomes interrupted or data is lost. Small to medium sized business are not expected to have the in-house resources or staff to execute a thorough, dynamic, and effective IT disaster recovery plan.
