Edward S. Devlin, Cole H. Emerson, LEO A. WROBEL · Auerbach Publications eBooks · 2020
This chapter covers the three steps in seven-step process data center managers: establishing the level of detail for the plan, establishing the plan’s format, and determining recovery logistics. The development committee also needs to establish the level of detail that will be used in the Data Center Recovery Plan (DCRP). The level of detail refers to the depth of information documented in the DCRP manual. The development committee should establish the format to be used in documenting the DCRP. The term format as used in the DCRP refers to the organization of the documentation for a recovery team. The development committee must also determine the recovery logistics to be used in documenting the DCRP. Broadly speaking, determining the recovery logistics involves identifying what recovery actions should be included in the plan, who should be assigned responsibility for performing these actions, and how the responsibilities should be carried out.
