RE: Business Contingency Plan

["O'Connor, Peter H." <102736.3535@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I see all of these messages going back and forth saying "let me see your plan,
or I'll show you my plan"   A real disaster recovery plan is NOT a RSTLIB plan.
What value is the AS/400 being up and running if the rest of the company cannot
function.  A disaster recovery plan is like god's best creation, women.  They
all have the same basic features but each is made different according to designs
of the makers.  The kind of hardware, software, communication lines etc.  I
could go on for hours but a true business contingency plan covers other items
than the AS/400.  Because we are 400 people, we tend to have a distorted view of
contingency planning.  The view, me first.  The plan should be exactly what is
says a business contingency plan and NOT a rebuild the AS/400 plan.  What good
is a restore plan goinig to do in Grand Forks ND.  Nothing!  Read the book and
get a good idea of what real planning is all about.  I never had a good feeling
until I reviewed the book.
