Historically, enterprises that have survived natural or man-made disasters have had recovery plans in place and were ready to face the risk of business interruptions. Today, the increased dependence on technology and tighter requirements in terms of recovery speed imposed on e-business and Web-based services have made recovery plans more complex.

Abstract

Historically, enterprises that have survived natural or man-made disasters have had recovery plans in place and were ready to face the risk of business interruptions. Today, the increased dependence on technology and tighter requirements in terms of recovery speed imposed on e-business and Web-based services have made recovery plans more complex. Disaster recovery planning, which plans for failures of components of the IT infrastructure, system or network outages, misconfigurations, and natural disasters, should be treated as a necessity by conscientious system administrators, managers, and CEOs. In this chapter we discuss disaster recovery planning, illustrating the main phases of the planning process and the techniques that can be used to provide for recovery.
