Develop a plan for recovering a network gets more complicated as the complexity of the network increases.

Network disaster recovery plan – Developing a plan for recovering a network gets more complicated as the complexity of the network increases. It is important to detail the step-by-step recovery procedure, test it properly and keep it updated. Data in this plan will be specific to the network, such as in its performance and networking staff. A DRP checklist should include the following steps: establishing the range or extent of necessary treatment and activity — the scope of recovery; gathering relevant network infrastructure documents; identifying the most serious threats and vulnerabilities, and the most critical assets; reviewing the history of unplanned incidents and outages, and how they were handled; identifying the current disaster recovery strategies; identifying the incident response team; having management review and approve the DRP; testing the plan; updating the plan; and implementing a DRP audit.
