What is a Disaster Recovery Plan?
A disaster recovery plan describes an organization's ability to respond to an interruption in services and deals with potential disasters. Just as a disaster is an event that makes the continuation of normal functions impossible, a disaster recovery plan consists of the precautions taken so that the effects of a disaster will be minimized. By implementing a disaster recovery plan, the organization will be able to either maintain or quickly resume mission-critical functions. Disaster recovery planning involves an analysis of business processes and continuity needs; it may also include a significant focus on disaster prevention.
