Recovery

A set of software applications combined with a database whose main functions are to create the database; insert; read; update and delete database data; maintain data integrity and security and prevent data from being lost by providing backup and recovery capabilities.

Disaster recovery deals with protecting an organization from the effects of significant negative events, events that put an organization’s operations at risk such as cyber attacks and equipment failures, or hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters. A disaster recovery plan (DRP) documents policies, procedures and actions to limit the disruption to an organization in the wake of a disaster.
