Disaster Recovery Planning
  • Documents containing procedures for emergency response, extended backup operations, and post- disaster recovery should a computer installation experience a partial or total loss of computer resources and physical facilities. The primary objectives of these plans, in conjunction with contingency plans, are to provide reasonable assurance that a computer installation can recover from such incidents, continue to process mission-essential applications in a degraded mode (i. e. , as a minimum, process computer applications previously identified as most essential), and return to a normal mode of operation within a reasonable amount of time. Such plans are a protective measure generally applied based on assessments of risk, cost, benefit, and feasibility as well as the other protective measures in place. (Source: NISTIR 4659);
  • planning for any event that causes significant disruption to operations thereby threatening the business survival. (Source: Information Security: Dictionary of Concepts, Standards and Terms; Longley, Shain, Caelli; Macmillan, 1992).
