Disaster Recovery Plan Samples
Business continuity management and contingency planning are of course essential and unavoidable tasks. However, the creation of a sound business continuity and contingency plan is a complex undertaking, involving a number of stages and discrete activities.
For example, initially it is necessary to understand the underlying risks and the potential impacts of disaster.... these are the building blocks upon which sensible business continuity plan or disaster recovery plan should be built. Then the plan itself must be created... which of course is far from trivial. Then there are the maintenance and testing phases, to ensure that the plan remains current. Even having arranged all these matters there is audit to consider. Let’s see some Disaster Recovery Plan Samples. Below given is a Disaster Recovery Plan Samples for MIT.
MIT's Disaster Recovery Plan Samples: Planning for the business continuity of MIT in the aftermath of a disaster is a complex task. Preparation for, response to, and recovery from a disaster affecting the administrative functions of the Institute requires the cooperative efforts of many support organizations in partnership with the functional areas supporting the "business" of MIT. This document records the Plan that outlines and coordinates these efforts, reflecting the analyses by representatives from these organizations and by the MIT Information Security Officer, Gerald I. Isaacson.
For use in the event of a disaster, this document identifies the computer recovery facilities (hot sites and shell sites) that have been designated as backups if the functional areas are disabled.
How To Use This MIT's Disaster Recovery Plan Samples Document: Use this document to learn about the issues involved in planning for the continuity of the critical and essential business functions at MIT, as a checklist of preparation tasks, for training personnel, and for recovering from a disaster. This document is divided into four parts, as the table below describes.
Part Contents:
· I. Information about the document itself.
· II. Design of the Plan that this document records, including information about the overall structure of business continuity planning at MIT.
· III. General responsibilities of the individual Institute Support Teams that together form the Business Continuity Management Team, emphasizing the function of each team and its preparation responsibilities.
· IV. Recovery actions for the Institute Support Teams and important checklists such as the notification list for a disaster and an inventory of resources required for the environment. [Note: If a "disaster" situation arises, Section IV of the Plan is the only section that needs to be referenced. It contains all of the procedures and support information for recovery.]
