Disaster Recovery
Planning (DRP)
DRP is the process of regaining access to the
data, hardware and software necessary to
resume critical business operations after a
natural or human-induced disaster.
A disaster recovery plan (DRP) should also
include plans for coping with the unexpected o
r sudden loss of key personnel, although this is
not covered in this article, the focus of which is
data protection.
DRP is part of a larger process known as
business continuity planning (BCP).
What is the difference DRP
and BCP (1/2)
Disaster recovery is the process by which you
resume business after a disruptive event.
The event might be
something huge-like an earthquake or the
terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center
something small, like malfunctioning software
caused by a computer virus.
Given the human tendency to look on the
bright side, many business executives are pr
one to ignoring "disaster recovery" because d
isaster seems an unlikely event.
What is the difference DRP
and BCP (2/2)
"Business continuity planning" suggests a
more comprehensive approach to making sur
e you can keep making money.
Often, the two terms are married under the
acronym BC/DR.
At any rate, DR and/or BC determines how a
company will keep functioning after a disrupti
ve event until its normal facilities are restored
.
What do these plans
include (1/2)
All BC/DR plans need to encompass
how employees will communicate
where they will go
how they will keep doing their jobs.
