Hello,
I'm an IT Analyst working in Disaster Recovery (DR) for a Fortune 200 manufacturing company.
I'm doing a little research on disaster recovery and what qualifies as a disaster. Can those of you who work in the DR space provide me with what you and/or your company define as a disaster?
When is it appropriate to invoke a companys IT disaster recovery plan?
- What qualifies as an IT disaster?
- What kind of resources are needed to start performing recovery?
- How much time must past (service outage) before a disaster can be declared?
- Are disaster definitions intentionally vague or are there specific milestones that need to be met before an IT disaster can be declared?
- What role does fail over play in the definition of disaster?
- What is the difference between an IT disaster and a major/serious incident?
Looking forward to hearing your responses. Thank you.
Cheers,
kp
