Disaster/Recovery Planning
Sometimes your system burns out or a dishonest employee makes the serious damage in it? Then how you recover? How do you get your information? Thus this becomes a big issue. Studies shows that within 48 hours after the loss of computer operation, a company‘s survival is threatened. The loss of sales and productions causes the direct financial loss. Indirect financial losses refer to the long term loss of consumers, uncollected receivables and undetected frauds. Data integrity and business decisions cause the loss of control over vital data.
Disaster/ Recovery planning refers to minimize the loss if a disaster occurs by addressing the concern for system in which potential exposure are identified, applications are prioritizing and safeguards are designed. In disaster/Recovery planning, the primary role of management is to accept the requirements for contingency planning alternative measure selection and benefits reorganization. These can be derived/inherited from establishing a disaster recovery plan.
The Plan
A plan in disaster/recovery planning answers the how, what, why, where and when questions. These questions help to support the disaster/recovery in planning process. When all the questions are answered, the next step is to initiate a plan involves four phases:-
1. Appoint a disaster/recovery team.
2. Prepare planning tasks.
3. Disaster/recovery manual.
4. Dummy run to test the procedure.
1) The Team:-The team of disaster/recovery includes a class of system users, designers and computer
operators. The main goal of team is to organize and monitor the projects and their progress and completion.
The plan is kept up to date periodically by the team. The team describes new rules, procedures and
technologies to make a plan best. The team performs the following tasks:-
1 Save the backup files.
2 provide communication features.
3 provide customer and administrative support.
4 use the hardware to meet the minimum processing requirements.
5 provide operating system copies and application programs.
2) Planning Tasks:- Planning tasks in disaster/recovery planning use the concept of system development. It means it also works in a cyclic manner. It include the following phases:-
1. Definition phase:- It is used to describe the goals or objectives of the disaster/recovery project.
2. Requirement phase:- This phase evaluates the requirements of the disaster/recovery planning and describes what is to be included in the plan and how to specifies the priorities. It also includes the hardware, software, telecommunication, backup and recovery, utilities etc.
3. Design phase:- This phase helps to design alternatives, vendors, requirement and prices and then choose the best one.
4. Testing and Implementation:- Testing means to make a plan error free. Thus it helps to detect and correct the errors. After testing, implementation is done. In implementation, sites and procedures are written and prepared. It also maintains the plans according to the change in time.
3) The Manual:- After the completion of the assignment, disaster manuals are prepared. The team members and management share the copies of the manuals that are updated according to the requirements.
