IT Disaster Recovery Planning for Dummies

by Peter Gregory. This work in the popular series contains a common methodology that will help organizations prepare for and recover from different types of disasters. Part I describes the nature of disasters and their effects on business, and takes readers on an end-to-end tour of the entire disaster recovery planning process. Part II contains core components of the disaster recovery plan, with chapters on planning user recovery, facilities protection, system and network recovery, data recovery, and writing the disaster recovery plan. Part III focuses on what happens after the disaster recovery plans are written, with advice on plan testing and descriptions of five common types of tests. A final section (the "Part of Tens") describes 10 disaster recovery planning tools, 11 relevant Web sites, and 10 benefits of disaster recovery planning. Gregory is an information security consultant. (Check Catalog)
