of the plan to ensure that it is effective<br />
before disaster strikes.<br />
10. Plan Maintenance - This section<br />
includes scheduled plan maintenance<br />
information. To keep the plan up to<br />
date after system upgrades or protocol<br />
changes, it is necessary to include<br />
scheduled plan maintenance meetings<br />
in the DRP and a coordinated meeting<br />
with the host provider to safeguard<br />
company assets.<br />
By combining the two approaches of<br />
DR and DA, companies are able to more<br />
successfully combat disaster by both<br />
reducing the chances that they will<br />
occur, and providing a fail-safe plan for<br />
a faster return to normal IT operations if<br />
they do. This provides a comprehensive<br />
disaster damage reduction strategy<br />
they can use to avoid the potentially<br />
devastating consequences of disaster.<br />

COMPANIES MUST HAVE A PLAN IN<br />
PLACE THAT ALLOWS THEM TO RESUME<br />
OPERATIONS QUICKLY, PROTECT CRITICAL<br />
EQUIPMENT, AND MINIMISE DOWNTIME.<br />
IS DRP EFFECTIVE?<br />
DRP accounts for all the incidents that<br />
DA can’t cover. From devastating floods<br />
to earthquakes, some disasters can’t be<br />
prevented. In these cases, companies<br />
must have a plan in place that allows<br />
them to resume operations quickly,<br />
protect critical equipment, and minimise<br />
downtime.<br />
DA AND DR: USING A COMBINED<br />
APPROACH FOR BETTER <strong>DISASTER</strong><br />
PROTECTION.<br />
Although DA and DR are each effective<br />
strategies when trying to reduce the<br />
potential damage caused by disaster<br />
incidents, they are most effective when<br />
used in tandem.<br />
