: Disaster Recovery Planning is becoming increasingly complex and costly. From a traditional mainframe focus it has now branched to include heterogeneous systems such as Unix, AS/400, HP and PC/LAN systems. Management sees DRP or the more widely used term BCP as only for insurance in case of disaster where even the occurrence is likely to be remote.

: Question :

: 1. How to draw the line where BCP is necessary ?
: 2. What are the main considerations in deciding
: whether any application/system merits DRP/BCP ?
: 3. Is there any framework or guideline out there
: where reference can be made or advice obtained ?

: The main issue here is - how to contain cost and at the
: same time ensure the organisation can survive with a
: BCP ?

: Would appreciate very much any comments on the matter.

: Thank you.

The Risk Assessment Business Impact Analysis should
contain a cost/impact section that will assist
Senior Management in determining which functions
the organization wants to protect and how much
they want to spend on that protection.
Any company can survive the short term with
appropriate tools, equipment, and staff. Planning
for the long term requires much more of a resource
commitment. If they have a cost comparison on
planning vs. loss estimate...it softens the blow
of bcp funding.
