Information on Disaster Recovery

What is Disaster Recovery?

A disaster recovery is a response to a declared disaster or a regional disaster. It is the restoration or recovery of an entire Agent computer. A disaster recovery plan describes how an organization is to deal 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, and the organization will be able to either maintain or quickly resume mission-critical functions. Typically, disaster recovery planning involves an analysis of business processes and continuity needs; it may also include a significant focus on disaster prevention.

The Disaster Recovery Planning Template (DRP) can be used for any sized enterprise.  

The template and supporting material have been updated to be Sarbanes-Oxley compliant.  The complete package includes:

• Disaster Recovery Plan Template
• Business and IT Impact Analysis Questionnaire
• Work Plan

With the template is a 3 page Job Description for the Disaster Recovery Manager.  The  Disaster Recovery Plan Template PREMIUM Bundle contains 11 additional key job descriptions.

Clients can also subscribe to Janco's DRP update service and receive all updates to the DRP Template*. 

The DRP template includes everything needed to customize the Disaster Recovery Plan to fit your specific requirement.
