Guide to Comptia A+ Operational Procedures: Disaster Recovery

What is Disaster Recovery?
Disaster Recovery is the process of resuming normal operations following a disaster by regaining access and functionality to IT infrastructure, software applications, and data. This is critical as businesses heavily rely on IT systems for operations.

Why is it important?
Without a disaster recovery plan, a disaster can disrupt business operations, leading to loss of data, revenue and customer trust. It ensures business continuity, protecting the integrity of company data and safeguarding the organization's reputation.

How it works?
Typically, the disaster recovery process involves an analysis of business processes and continuity needs. This is followed by prevention measures, and finally, recovery, where the data and function are restored.

Exam Tips: Answering Questions on Disaster Recovery
Understanding the key concepts of disaster recovery is vital. Focus on the importance and implementation of a disaster recovery plan, including prevention, response, and recovery phases. Be able to describe different strategies and select the best fit for different scenarios. Familiarize yourself with how it aligns with business continuity.
Remember: Analysis, Prevention, Recovery is the go-to pattern.

Disaster Recovery involves developing and implementing strategies to prevent, mitigate, and recover from IT system failures resulting from natural or human-induced disasters. These strategies ensure business continuity and minimize downtime in the event of unforeseen events such as fires, floods, or cyberattacks.
