Disasters happen every day all over the world. Often, companies fail to develop a disaster plan. When should a disaster recovery plan take place?
Explanation
Answer: B - A disaster recovery plan is carried out when everything is still in emergency mode and everyone is scrambling to get all critical systems back online. The goal is to handle the disaster and its ramifications right after the disaster hits. These plans are usually very information technology focused. After a disaster happens and the disaster recovery plan has been carried out, a company must enact their business continuity plan, which takes a broader approach to disaster. The business continuity plan includes getting critical systems to another environment while repair of the original facilities is under way. However, for these systems and protocols to be effective, it must be understood that disaster recovery is to minimize the effects of a disaster and to take the necessary steps to ensure that the resources, personnel, and business processes are able to resume operation in a timely manner.
