Traditional Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning
Business continuity Plan (BCP) or Business Process Contingency Plan (BPCP) - describes how an organization is to deal with potential disasters. A recovery plan consists of the precautions taken so that the effects of an event that causes an outage will be minimized, and the Entity will be able to either maintain or quickly resume mission-critical functions. Recovery planning involves an analysis of business processes and continuity needs; it also includes a significant focus on mitigation.

Disaster recovery for Technology is becoming an increasingly important aspect of enterprise computing. As devices, systems, and networks become ever more complex, there are simply more things that can go wrong. As a consequence, recovery plans have also become more complex.

Current enterprise systems tend to be too complicated for such simple and hands-on approaches, however, and interruption of service or loss of data can have serious financial impact, whether directly or through loss of customer confidence.
