5. What is – Disaster Recovery?
Disaster Recovery is when a site is destroyed.
But…
While this is the "ultimate" recovery plan,
Most recoveries are…
“I need an older version of X.”
“I accidentally deleted Y.”
“Server Z blew up and we need to restore it.”

6. Business Impact Analysis – BIA
• First step in creating a DR Plan
• Have the executive staff define your
mission critical applications.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Agree upon what is acceptable downtime (RTO).
Agree upon your recovery point objective (RPO).
Zero downtime comes at a significant cost.
The IT staff needs to guide the executives.

7. RPO – RTO
•
RPO = recovery point objective
•
•
•
The restore is current as of…
“How much data you lose.”
RTO = recovery time objective
•
Time between disaster and recovery for a given
application

8. RISK – Assessment
•
Map out the infrastructure that supports
the mission critical applications.
•
Single points of failure cause the
majority of outages.
•
Identify risks that you control versus
risks you don’t.
– Internal versus External
– Two = one, one = none
