Philip Jan Rothstein was interviewed by Paul Kirvan for Techtarget.com about the best business continuity books. Read Paul Kirvan’s interview and insights.
When you’re embarking on a new business continuity project, one of the best ways to get started is to read some books on the subject. Fortunately, there are numerous excellent resources available. In this article, Paul Kirvan examines books in print that address disaster recovery (DR) planning and business continuity management (BCM).
The business continuity management profession evolved from DR in the early 1990s, and focuses on a broader range of issues than DR. In the early days of DR, most activities focused on recovery of data centers and information, according to Rothstein. “Only a few books on disaster recovery existed at that time,” he said, “and much of the knowledge was passed around by word of mouth.” Much of the written word in BC/DR was found in magazines, such as the Disaster Recovery Journal and Survive! Additional knowledge came from conferences and seminars. Growth in books evolved more gradually.
