Abstract

States that for business recovery planning to be successful, more than just a business recovery plan should be produced. Proposes that testing and training are just as important as the plan itself. Addresses three key areas: the plan and its importance; what else is needed to manage a disaster; and what is gained by testing and training. Concludes that an extensive programme of testing and training will prepare an organization for almost any contingency.
