Understanding BCDR

What You'll Learn

  • RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective)
  • Hot, Warm, and Cold disaster recovery sites
  • Backup frequency and data replication strategies
  • Failover automation and manual procedures
  • Cost vs. recovery time trade-offs
  • Real-world disaster scenario planning

DR Site Types

Hot Site: Real-time replication, instant failover - highest cost but minimal downtime
Warm Site: Regular backups, hours to recover - balanced cost and recovery
Cold Site: Basic infrastructure, days to recover - lowest cost but longest downtime

💡 Key Metrics

  • RTO: Maximum acceptable downtime after a disaster
  • RPO: Maximum acceptable data loss (how far back your last backup is)
  • MTTR: Mean Time To Recovery - average time to restore service
  • MTPD: Maximum Tolerable Period of Disruption

🎯 Best Practices

  • • Align DR strategy with business criticality and budget
  • • Test failover procedures regularly (at least quarterly)
  • • Document runbooks for all disaster scenarios
  • • Use geographic diversity for DR sites
  • • Automate failover where possible to reduce human error
