Part I

Getting Started with Disaster Recovery

In this part . . .

This part introduces the technical side of disaster recovery (DR) planning. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the entire DR process.

Chapter 2 is for organizations that have no disaster recovery plan at all. It shows you how you can make a quick start with an interim plan that provides some protection against disaster while you develop a more formal plan.

Chapter 3 covers the Business Impact Analysis (BIA) — the vital first part of the formal, long-term development of a disaster recovery plan. You use the BIA to identify the most critical business processes — those that need disaster recovery plans the most!
