How does disaster recovery planning ensure business continuity?
Disasters like the 911 attacks are extreme and fairly unlikely to
happen in your environment, but these disasters sometimes do happen
and there is no substitute for preparation. If you were brought in as
a consultant to an organization, which is really concerned about its
business continuity, what guidelines would you have for them? Explain
to them the consequences of not following each of the guidelines you
recommend.
