Disaster recovery teams use this strategy to recover essential business operations at an alternate location site. The information system and IT teams restore IT functions based on critical business functions. 1. BUSINESS FUNCTION RECOVERY PRIORITIES
An organization uses the alternate business site and relocation strategy in the event of a disaster or disruption that inhibits the continuation of the business processes at the original business site. This strategy should include both short-term and long-term relocation sites in the case of both types of disruptions. 3. ALTERNATE BUSINESS SITE
C. ALTERNATE SITE OPERATION These are the activities most needed for the business to continue, and the recovery plan should target these essential business functions. The recovery plan should proceed as follows: B. PLAN ACTIVATION This phase continues until the company can restore the primary facility. The company puts the business continuity plan into effect during this phase. This phase will continue until the company secures the alternate business site and relocates the business operations. A. DISASTER OCCURRENCE D. TRANSITION TO PRIMARY SITE The company declares a disaster and decides to activate the rest of the recovery plan. This phase continues until the company can appropriately move business operations back to the original business site. 5. RECOVERY PHASES
Disaster recovery/It teams maintain, control, and periodically check on all the records that are vital to the continuation of business operations and that would be affected by facility disruptions or disasters. The teams periodically back up and store the most critical files at an offsite location. 7. RESTORATION PLAN
