Disaster Recovery |
Whilst this is a common phrase it would probably be better to refer to this as Business Continuity Planning, which fundamentally is all about making sure that your business can survive a disaster or extended period of disruption.
The causes of the disaster or period of disruption can be manyfold. Some examples are :
Natural disasters – i.e. flooding or storm damage
Theft or vandalism
Fire
Power cuts
Fuel shortages
IT failure
Restricted access to premises
Loss of key staff
Outbreak of disease or infection
Industrial action
You will need to rate the chances of any disaster/disruption and then come up with a plan of how to address the impact this may have. Wikipedia has a very helpful article on this, which can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_continuity_planning#Threat_analysis
