Disaster Recovery Plans Regular system backups protect the information in your system from irretrievable loss by providing a copy of the information. However, natural and man-made problems, such as smoke, noxious fumes, explosion, flood, earthquake, and sabotage, can still threaten both your backup media and your system hardware. A disaster recovery plan protects your organization from such potential disablement by establishing procedures for duplicating and safely storing backup media and maintaining a site for "substitute" computer hardware. Although implementing a disaster recovery plan is time-consuming and costly, saving your system from an unexpected disaster is almost always worth the effort. Refer to Chapter 12, "Disaster Recovery," for more detail.
