NTC 300 WEEK 3 Discussion Question: Ensuring IT Accessibility and Functionality
You are an IT manager in a small company. The company executives are leading a two-day disaster planning retreat to review and revise the company’s disaster and recovery plans.
You are to present the IT department’s plans and processes.
Backup, restore, disaster recovery, and business continuity are all terms near and dear to IT professionals. However, because there will be presentations from many different disciplines (e.g., finance, HR, and production), you decide to start by defining terms from an IT perspective.
Define each of the following terms:
• Backup
• Restore
• Disaster recovery
• Business continuity
Explain how each term relates to the others and work together to ensure an organization’s IT system remains accessible and functional.
