Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Resources
Business continuity guidance for backup strategy, disaster recovery planning, recovery objectives, testing, data protection, and operational resilience.
Topic overview
Plan technology decisions with the full operating context
Business continuity planning connects technology recovery to the processes people need to keep operating. Effective plans identify critical systems, dependencies, recovery priorities, responsible owners, communication paths, and the conditions that determine when a response or restoration procedure should begin.
This collection focuses on backup, disaster recovery, and continuity practices that can be documented and tested. Use it to evaluate recovery objectives, compare protection approaches, plan restore validation, and identify dependencies that may otherwise remain hidden until an outage. The goal is a practical recovery program tied to the systems and workflows that matter most. Teams should also record recovery owners, decision thresholds, communication paths, vendor dependencies, and the evidence produced by each exercise so the plan can improve after every test. Include identity systems, telecommunications, internet connectivity, SaaS access, and manual workarounds in each exercise. Testing those dependencies together shows whether staff can resume work, not merely whether a file can be restored.

The collection helps teams distinguish a backup from a complete recovery process, identify systems that must return first, document who owns each decision, and evaluate cloud, local, and hybrid protection options. Related guidance connects technical recovery tasks with the people, vendors, facilities, and business workflows that determine whether an organization can continue operating during a disruption.
