As an IT specialist, one of your responsibilities it to develop a disaster recovery plan (DRP) for the organization in case of an emergency.
Last year, there was a devastating fire at your place of business that took out the local server room and required the organization to move to a different building. Fortunately, due to good business continuity planning, the backup database was at another location; however, the team struggled with backup tools, processes, and policies when it came to supporting newfound remote employees. Now, your IT manager has asked you to prepare a DRP so everyone can be ready in case of a future emergency.
Your manager has asked you to write a 1,050- to 1,400-word disaster recovery plan in a Word document.
Include the following in your plan:
Identify 2 tools used for backup purposes that would support business continuity to ensure that the data can be accessed during the disaster.
Explain who is responsible for the backup. How often should data be backed up?
How will the data be protected while at rest? What security requirements will be necessary?
With respect to disaster recovery, explain how quickly the primary database should be restored. Why?
Explain how employees would access the backup database during business continuity efforts.
Since the former office space is inaccessible, explain where the employees would work.
What communication methods would be used?
Outline the major components of a backup storage policy to include data at rest. Consider the steps you took in the week’s labs to support your outline.
Cite at least 2 resources to support your assignment.

Format your citations according to APA guidelines.
