Disaster Recovery by the Book after NY

Considering all the companies that were effected with disasters on Sept. 11.
We started to reexamine our DR plan.  What we had, like most people is a
restore plan and not a DR plan.  What we learned was, in a true disaster our
company really needs a true disaster recovery plan not just a restore plan.
We look around at the methods to develop such a plan.   There is not much out
on the market to help develop a true plan.  The IBM Backup and Recovery Guide
was just a blue print on how to put  together a restore plan.  Top management
insisted that we put together a true DR plan.

After much searching, we discovered that Prestige, PO Box 659, Wolfeboro
Falls, NH 03896 has a book designed for the 400 and for a true DR plan.   In
my mind it was the best $54.00 investment that we have made in a while.
While it did not answer a 100% of over questions, it put us on the correct
path to having a functional Disaster Recovery Plan and NOT just a restore
plan.  We are still working on the plan and by doing so, management is much
happier.

I do not know how many companies out there believe that their DR plan is more
than a restore plan but the events in NY made us think.
