Description: Disaster planning is an ongoing activity. This is the message of my topic today.
What does disaster planning mean to you as a computer center manager? Does it mean hiring a consultant to produce a written disaster plan per se? Does it bring to mind the drafting of standard operating procedure manuals to handle service interruptions? Is it a booklet put together to satisfy a regulation or to convince your insurance company that you deserve a lower rate? Is it simply a phone list? If you are thinking along these lines, you may be in for a surprise. Disaster planning involves much more than this.
