Comprehense DR
As I’ve been working on our DR Plan I had some questions that just couldn’t be answered by IT. I have an off site backup, but what do I do with the off site backup if the building and all our equipment isn’t here anymore because of a tornado? Do I wait until the building is restored and we have new equipment? Obviously that won’t work. If nothing else, in such a case we would still need to process payroll, and all the data we would need to do this would be in the off-site backup. So in a worst-case scenario we would need to setup some kind of temporary office, or setup a temporary off site server accessible via VPN. And while we’re at it, what do we do about worship services. I know this is outside my realm of responsibility, but I’ve assembled a team to compile a comprehensive DR plan that addresses regular business procedures, IT systems access, worship services, etc.
I was wondering if any of you other Church IT people out there have such a comprehensive DR plan, and if so what is your plan?
