Preface
The terms "Disaster Recovery" and "Business Continuity" are often used
interchangeably. They are in fact, different ponents of a
business's overall recovery and continuity planning. Whereas Disaster Recovery
Planning (DRP) is concerned with the recovery of systems and infrastructure
components, Business Continuity Planning has a larger scope – namely, the
determination of which ponents and functions need to be recovered
– and those which can be ignored.
This whitepaper will explore several of the ponents of a Business
Continuity planning effort. It will also provide a high level framework for the
creation, implementation, and maintenance of a Business Continuity Plan. The
approach presented is one that that has been “field tested” and proven over time.
It is also an approach that allows you to get a feel for the capabilities and
responsiveness of a service provider mitting to a long-term
engagement.
