NIH Data Center Disaster Recovery Plan

October 2006

October 05, 2006 FOREWARD

This Disaster Recovery Plan describes the strategy and procedures for recovering Data Center processing of applications should a disaster substantially disrupt operations. The plan is organized into three parts: the main body provides a general description of the disaster recovery strategy and program, the appendices provide detailed information for conducting the recovery, and the attachments provide supplemental information. The main body is public information and may be freely distributed; the appendices and attachments contain sensitive information that is restricted to the individuals responsible for recovering Data Center operations. The appendices and attachments must be destroyed when updated versions are received. The plan is frequently updated to reflect current hardware, software, procedures, applications, and staffing. Revisions are distributed to the disaster recovery team members at least twice a year following the disaster recovery tests. When copies of the plan are no longer required, please return them to the Disaster Recovery (DR) Coordinator. All corrections are welcome at any time and should be directed to the DR Coordinator.
