Answer to Question #226625 in Management for Harsh Patel

Question

You are a medium sized Travel & Tourism company based in Mumbai by the name of

“Kesari Travels”. Owing to the past developments of terrorist attacks & heavy flooding in

Mumbai, you are very keen to have a Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Plan in place.

a. What Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity features will you introduce for your company?

Suggest & briefly describe at least 2 such innovative initiatives?

Answer 1

Disaster Recovery features I'll introduce for Kesari Travels include:

1.Data backups - the company will store all its data on a removable drive or off-site. Metrics such as what needs backup or relocation, who should be in charge of backup, the frequency of backups and how they will be implemented will inform the choice of strategy.

2.Cold site - Kesari will set up a basic infrastructure in a facility that it barely uses to create a space for employees to work after a natural disaster or fire. A cold site will ensure Kesari's business operations continue in case of a disaster.
