Business continuity and disaster recovery

A disaster recovery plan describes scenarios for resuming work quickly and reducing interruptions in the aftermath of a disaster. It is an important part of the business continuity plan and it allows for sufficient IT recovery and the prevention of data loss.

1. Write a 1-page paper describing the difference between Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. Your paper should also:
