The majority of Business Continuity Plan, Disaster Recovery Plan, Data Center Recovery Plan templates that are written are not sustained and modified. Within a year or less these business continuity, disaster recovery, and data center recovery plans turn out to be worthless because the staff has changed, vendors are different, and the resources required to get continue business operations have evolved. By maintaining these plans on time and on a regular basis, the business will evade the time required to generate a plan from scratch and it will be ready whenever a disaster strikes.
The Data Center Recovery Template suite contains guides, checklists, templates, samples, and examples necessary to create maintenance and revision to Business Continuity Plan and Disaster Recovery Plans.

Disaster Recovery Plan Template
This main disaster recovery planning document includes the non-technical activities that require being done in support of Disaster Recovery operations. The following sections contain contact numbers, contact personnel, activation, and notification procedures, the overview of recovery teams, vendor contact information, and recovery locations.
The complete technical disaster recovery procedures for all components are located in the appendix since these disaster recovery plans are customized on a regular basis due to intermittent configuration changes of the company’s Technology Environment. Moreover, with frequent changes to the hardware, network, and operating systems (OS), technical documents such as the detailed individual DR Plans for this environment will be updated on a regular basis to make sure changes in hardware and operating systems are reflected in the technical DR Procedures.
