And your attempts
at spreading disaster recovery planning will be met with hostility at every turn.
??? Avoid scare tactics: Never resort to scare tactics??”for example, ???If we don??™t do this,
we??™ll lose all of our data.??? In my experience, negative approaches to any sort of discussion
make the problem even more difficult to deal with.
??? Don??™t stop: Disaster recovery planning should be an iterative process??”a job role,
not a project. When working with others, you must reinforce this concept above all
else. When faced with extreme resistance, it??™s fine to back off for a while, but always
come back and try again. Defeatism is not allowed.
Summary
In this final chapter, I??™ve explored some of the practical (or impractical, depending on
how you look at it) aspects of attempting disaster recovery planning within your own
organization. It would be nice if we could simply approach the topic of disaster recovery
from a purely technical point of view, but the unfortunately complicated reality of the situation
is that successful disaster recovery plans require the participation of the entire
business, not just IT/IS.
