Instructions for Using This Template

This template Disaster Recovery Plan is a typical example of the contents of a plan document, which will help you save time when writing your own. However, ALL of this plan is designed to be CUSTOMIZED for the solution designed specifically for your company. In particular, the teams, timescales and responsibilities are for example ONLY and are not necessarily recommendations. Note also that some of the teams referred to may be only one person.

The layout has been designed to be easy to navigate, but, again, you may wish to modify it, particularly the cover page, to suit a house style.

The document contains some hints for writing your own plan; these are in bold italic text. Remember to delete these paragraphs, together with these instructions, when you finalize your plan.

When you have written your plan, remember to:

1.About This Disaster Recovery Plan

Hint: Clearly define the scope of the plan. For example, the plan may cover the company’s computer processing only, or it may be broader and extend to environmental and safety issues.

1.1.Purpose and Scope of This Plan

This plan has been designed and written to be used in the event of a disaster affecting <Company name> at <Company Site Address>.

This plan is structured around teams, with each team having a set of specific responsibilities.

The decision to initiate disaster recovery procedures will be taken by the Disaster Management Team Leader or his deputy after assessing the situation following a disaster or crisis.

If the Disaster Management Team Leader decides to initiate disaster recovery procedures, then all members of the recovery teams will follow the procedures contained in this plan until recovery is complete.

This plan contains all the information necessary to restore an operational service in the event of a serious disruption of computer services at <Company Site>.

2.Plan Objectives

A disaster is defined as an incident which results in the loss of computer processing at the <Company Name> site at <Location>, to the extent that relocation to a Standby Facility must be considered. A disaster can result from a number of accidental, malicious or environmental events such as fire, flood, terrorist attack, human error, software or hardware failures.

The primary objective of this Disaster recovery Plan is to ensure the continued operation of identified business critical systems in the event of a disaster.

Specific goals of the plan are :



3.Recovery Teams and Responsibilities

Hint: The recovery teams defined for a company vary according to the specific needs of that company. Adapt this section to describe the recovery teams applicable for your situation.

This section defines the functional responsibilities of each recovery team.

The names of all the team members are to listed in Section 12.2, Recovery Team Members.



3.1.Disaster Management Team

The Disaster Management Team is responsible for providing overall direction of the data centre recovery operations. It ascertains the extent of the damage, activates the recovery organisation and notifies the team leaders. Its prime role is to monitor and direct the recovery effort. It has a dual structure in that its members include Team Leaders of other teams.

The Disaster Management Team Leader is responsible for deciding whether or not the situation warrants the introduction of disaster recovery procedures. If he decides that it does, then the organisation defined in this section comes into force and, for the duration of the disaster, supersedes any current management structures.

The Disaster Management Team operates from the Command Centre.

3.1.1.Disaster Management Team Charter

The Disaster Management Team is responsible for the following:

3.1.2.Responsibilities



3.2.Operations Team

3.7.1.Standby Facilities Team Charter



3.7.2.Responsibilities





4.What To Do in the Event of a Disaster

Hint: you may wish to include your Company standard Fire/Evacuation/Safety procedures in an Appendix or as the main text for 4.1 below.

The most critical and complex part of the management of resources is in the planning and organisation of the required personnel during the invocation of the plan.

Personnel must be well-rehearsed, familiar with the Disaster recovery Plan and be sure of their assignments.



4.1.Standard Emergency Procedures

The first priority in a disaster situation is to ensure safe evacuation of all personnel.

In the event of a major physical disruption, standard emergency procedures must be followed. This means immediately:



4.2.The First Steps for the Recovery Teams



4.3.The Next Steps

The Disaster Management Team Leader decides whether to activate the Disaster recovery Plan, and which recovery scenario will be followed.

The recovery teams then follow the defined recovery activities and act within the responsibilities of each team, as defined in this Disaster recovery Plan.



5.Recovery Scenarios

Hint: this section optionally provides the opportunity to specify actions which may be taken if the 'disaster' is less than total. Such a situation may prevail on a large site with multiple buildings - perhaps even with multiple computer rooms in different locations. Clearly, this will be inappropriate in some cases. Remember, the action plans are by way of example only and are not intended to suggest or recommend what you should do.

This section describes the various recovery scenarios that can be implemented, depending on the nature of the disaster and the extent of the damage. The Disaster Management Team Leader decides which recovery scenario to implement when he or she activates the Disaster recovery Plan.



5.1.Scenario One: Minor Damage

In this scenario, only a part of the computer processing environment is out of action, but the communication lines and network are still up and running. The goal of the recovery process in this case is to move the applications from the systems which are unavailable to the Standby Facility.

In this scenario the building is still available and the users can use normal office space to wait for the restart of computer processing.

5.2.Scenario Two: Major Damage

In this scenario, the entire computer processing environment (or most of it) is out of action. Communication lines and the network are out of action.

The goal of the recovery process in this scenario is to move all identified applications to the Standby Facility.

This scenario requires a full recovery procedure, as documented in this Disaster recovery Plan.



6.Recovery Activities

This section contains a list of tasks for each of the recovery teams. Sensible judgement must be exercised to determine what activities are appropriate based on the nature and extent of the disruption.

Hint: the timescales used here are for example only and should be modified to suit your Organisation. For example, some production process may require a significant action to be taken every two hours, or there may be something which repeats on a twelve-hour cycle. Modify the timescales and actions to reflect these requirements.

6.1.Overview of the Tasks for Each Team

The following table provides an overview of the main responsibilities of each recovery team during the lifecycle of the disaster recovery process. The detailed tasks for each team are listed in the following sections.
