Disaster Recovery and Business Resumption – Business Contingency Planning
Excerpted from Technology Best Practices
Robert H. Spencer & Randolph P. Johnston
First in a Series of Four Articles

There is more than one approach to contingency planning. The traditional approach is to prepare a plan in case information systems fail as the result of a major storm or fire damage. These are disasters; no doubt about it, but the risk of one of these events occurring is relatively small compared to other events that happen every day.
