Disaster Recovery Plan

What is a Disaster Recovery Plan?

A disaster recovery plan (DRP) is a documented procedure for recovering infrastructure, systems, networks, applications, data and devices critical to an organization after a natural or human-induced disaster.

How DRPs Relate to Managed IT:

– Outlines restoration protocols, technology redundancies, backup utilities and testing.
– Involves risk assessment of potential business disruptions based on location, threats and vulnerabilities.
– MSPs develop DRP tactical response paired with robust backup and continuity failovers.

Example:

A school system implements a DRP for rapidly restoring student information systems and resuming remote learning programs using spare capacity if tornado damage shutters facilities.

Key Takeaways:

– Documents processes for technology reinstatement, app recovery, alternate operations.
– Essential for minimizing disruption length and customer impact.
– MSP consultants architect infrastructure and orchestrate response testing.
– WPG creates comprehensive DRPs complementing cloud contingencies.
