Disaster Recovery

Disaster recovery (DR) involves a set of strategies and processes designed to restore IT systems, data, and business operations after a catastrophic event. Key concepts include Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO), which define the acceptable downtime and data loss limits. Dependencies such as data backups, redundant systems, and failover mechanisms are critical to ensuring continuity. Methods like regular testing, updating DR plans, and conducting Business Impact Analysis (BIA) help organizations prepare for potential disruptions. Industry best practices emphasize the importance of comprehensive planning, continuous improvement, and integrating DR with broader Business Continuity Planning (BCP) to minimize the impact of disasters and ensure rapid recovery.
