Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)

Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP): is a plan designed to recover all the vital business processes during a disaster with in a limited amount of time.

This plan has all the procedures required to handle the emergency situations.

Mostly the DRP has technology-oriented methodologies and concentrates on getting the systems up as soon as possible, within a reasonable amount of time (RTO and RPO).

?RTO and RPO are the recovery time objective and recovery point objective, which are the targets of DRP. “The most successful disaster recovery strategy is the one that will never be implemented; therefore, risk avoidance is a critical element in the disaster recovery process”
