A Crash Course in Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Planning
Business continuity planning is the overarching plan that ensures your business can recover from a disaster. This includes things like emergency response protocols, communications plans, legal liability issues, workspace recovery (giving your employees a safe place to work), etc.
Disaster recovery is a subset of business continuity planning and refers specifically to the recovery of your applications and data in the event of a disaster. It’s about making sure your IT systems and data are available, so you can resume business as usual.
