Week 13: Reading Questions & Case

Readings

1. What would you do as an individual to be ready for an IT disaster?  A real world disaster?
2. What is the difference between disaster recovery and business continuity?  How are they related?
3. What makes this so complicated and difficult for organizations?

Activity:  Personal diaster recovery and business continuity plans

Think about these issues from your personal point of view.  How are you backing up your data?  Do you have an alternative machine if your device died?  How would you finish the semester if you lost your machine and all your data the week before finals.  Please post your current processes and your analysis of them on the class blog by Tuesday evening at 11:59 PM.  I expect that you will comment on at least four other posts on this topic before Friday.
