A Step-by-Step Guide to Disaster Recovery Planning

Overview Everyone is talking about disaster recovery (DR) planning and how important it is to be prepared for any emergency that could impact business-critical operations. But how do you actually develop a sound DR plan? There's lots of information out there, but where do you actually begin?

The development of a comprehensive disaster readiness plan generally encompasses these three steps:

Identify the processes and resources that are truly business-critical
Develop realistic and necessary recovery objectives for those processes and resources
Determine how you can achieve your DR objectives as simply and cost-effectively as possible

Check out this on-demand Webcast from TechRepublic, featuring Eric Jackson, Strategic Product Advisor to CA XOsoft, to get practical guidance on developing, implementing, and testing your DR plan. Jackson outlines the steps you should follow to ensure that your DR plan will work as you expect it to and that it will scale as your business and IT needs evolve. He also discusses a holistic approach to DR planning that combines available backup and recovery technologies.
