Re: Business Continuity Plan

[Paul <kdcma@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Joanie,

We're a relatively small AS/400 shop and we don't have a contract with a
disaster recovery service. However, we outsource much of our RPG
programming and have an understanding with them that they could quickly
get us a system to use in the event we have a disaster. We keep an
off-site copy of a full backup of the '400 and rotate it out weekly. The
on-site backups are kept in a fireproof (and heatproof I hope!!) file
cabinet. We looked at disaster recovery centers but found them to be too
expensive for our needs.
