Re: AS/400 Application Recovery Services

[gcrane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We have an IBM contract.  Alot depends on what you are willing to spend and
risk.  What is sometimes overlooked is the "Business Interruption Insurance
Policy" if you company has one -- not many do.  Many Business Interruption
Insurance Policies require a Business Recovery Plan and either a Hot or Cold
site.  Ask the question, how much business will we lose during the re-build
process of existing system?    If you have hard time getting management support
for hot/cold BRS,  asking for BI insurance can help in getting you BRS .   BRS
without testing is nothing.    The time it takes to re-build your system may
surprise you.   You can find ads in News/400 or Midrange Systems for BRS
companies.

Subject:  AS/400 Application Recovery Services






Are there any users who have disaster recovery plans in place for there
critical applications on the AS/400?  Do you know
know of anyone who provides disaster recovery services for applications on
the AS/400 or if such services are provided?
My AS/400 resides in Southwest Texas and this area is prone to Hurricanes
this time of year.  If such a thing happened, I
would like to send our Admin person along with the backup tapes and restore
them to another AS/400, provide a limited
number of our customers (all over the US) with access so that they could
continue with limited services.

Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Joyce
