Business continuity and disaster recovery are hot topics in IT these days and with good reason. The problem is, no one who actually works IN IT has time to deal with it. Enter this Workbook. This is a great book because it provides the big picture and the details in a really readable style. It starts out discussing the environment surrounding IT and the various kinds of disasters businesses face. Then, it takes the reader step-by-step through the process of planning for a disaster and how to recover the business in the event of a disaster.
This book is an ideal combination of the practice of business continuity - standards, best practices, global perspective - and, the process of business continuity - planning, development, implementation, and so forth. One feature you will especially like are the sections by specialists - the ready to use templates on Business justification, Emergency responses, Salvage plans, and many more. Granted, many of us will never get through all the planning steps in the book, but at least you have the checklists to help you through it. These lists also provide a great reality check.
The bottom line is this: protect the data you have today then create your more extensive disaster plan. Along the way, be sure you maintain compliance with whatever regulations your company or industry is subject to. If you want the checklists and details that will help you do these things, buy the book. It's the cheapest insurance you can buy.
