DRP

Disaster Recovery Plan

The plan for restoring IT systems and data after a major disruption.

A Disaster Recovery Plan documents how to restore IT systems, applications, and data after a major disruption, guided by the recovery time and recovery point objectives set in the business impact analysis. It is a technical subset of the broader business continuity plan. Regular testing through tabletop walkthroughs and failover exercises is what keeps it trustworthy.
