what is disaster recovery?
612406
This is the back-up strategy that a company has for putting a computer system back up in the event of a catastrophic event, such as a power outage or a network failure.  Often this is done at another location (in the even of a power failure for example).  All companies have a disaster recovery (aka DR) plan if they intend to have on-going operations of their computer systems.  Often involves having a duplicate system in another datacenter ready to go in the event of an emergency.

Disaster management is an attempt to minimize the damage related to a disaster. By deffinition a disaster is something that was not avoided and causes catostropic damages. It doesn't have to be a twister or a hurricane or an earthquake. For many companies losing their data would be a worse disaster than losing the building they work from and the hardware they use to manipulate and read that data. \n\nDisaster plans, redundancy, security and emergancy resources are used to combat disasters. \n\nA disaster plan is where you decide upon all likely catastrophes to your business model and then decide what you will do to minimize the damage if this event occurs. Many companies have such plans. Many of them are actually good plans. Few follow through and even fewer update them on a reguler basis. So when real disaster strikes the plans are often forgotten or not followed. Disaster plans should be written after a good bit of analysis. If you look closely you will find that more than acts of God threaten a company.   So disaster plans should include acts of God (Volcano, Tornado, hurricane, whatever else applies to that area) major theft (both from external and internal sources), loss of data, terrorism, acts of cival disobediance (a riot in the area, being targeted by a radical political group are examples of this), Long term utility outages and anything specific to your industry such as the sudden loss of a key supplier or market for example.\n\nRedundancy is something that most people wish they could have but few can afford. If your enterprise hinges on a specific server, database, phone switchboard, etc then you cannot afford to not use redundancy. The downtime of a single failure will pay for the redundancy several times over in many cases. What it means is to have a backup unit of whatever it is that is essential to your operations. It might be a second generator, or an alternate hiway route or an extra server that does little or nothing unless the main server craters. \n\nSecurity is part of disaster management before during and after. It is typically securities job to prevent many forms of disaster. Security is who is often called upon to effect disaster plans when they are called into use. Security has to learn from previous disasters and improve performance after a disaster and is normally heavily involved with recovery efforts. \n\nEmergancy resources are things that you need to get your disaster plan working. For example if you live in a hurricane prone area where will you operate out of until it's clear to go back and you can reopen the office in the disaster area. Do you need generators for long term power outages or to survive brown outs. It's also identifying who in your company will do what if certain aspects of the disaster plan are enacted as well as knowing what Gov and private agencies will need to be talked to and who to talk too remain operational during a disaster. A bank for example after a major theft will have a book sized binder on this section where a small appliance repair store might have a couple sentances. \n\nHope this helped.

Water flooding as a secondary recovery method is a common technology. After primary recovery is complete there is a great deal of oil still coating the reservoir rock and by pushing water through the pores of the rock, some of this  oil is recovered.

A hard drive back up stores the same information but on another location. So if your main hard drive gets ruined, you dont have to lose your data.

We had a natural disaster.  We learned for a period.  And then we went back to our normal habits.  We had a terrorist attack.  We learned for a period and went right back to our old habits.  Some one said to set an example.  And she is right.  If we do as we want to be treated its a start.  Teach our children these same values its a start.  If we think we a disposable, then we will be treated as such.  If we think we are replacable, then we will be.  See what I mean.  Examples and behavior is the key.  Its slow in coming but its the best we have.  Disasters dont teach us perminantly to change.  It takes patience.
