What is Disaster recovery plan?
Operations, IT, cybersecurity. A plain-English definition for Australian business owners.
A disaster recovery plan documents the steps to restore business operations after a major disruption — ransomware, fire, hardware failure, cloud outage.
It specifies RTO (Recovery Time Objective: how quickly systems must be back up) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective: how much data loss is acceptable). For SMEs, the plan should be documented, tested at least annually, and accessible to multiple people.
In a connected back office this sits with the Operations hub, where Valont runs it support, cybersecurity and cloud systems for Australian SMEs as one team. The full definition set is on the glossary.
