Generally speaking, this depends on what disaster you are trying to recover from or continue through. For example, if you are worried that the building may catch fire, a building up the street is sufficient. If you are worried about severe weather, you will want a site that is in a different weather pattern. You might also want to consult with the local utilities to make sure you are on a seperate grid fed by different generating stations in case of a widespread power outage. Essentially, distance isn't a factor unless your concerns are something like radiological fallout. Where distance may play a role is with regard to your ability to get necessary personnel to your DR facilities in a timely fashion. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The Norwich University program offers unparalleled Infosec management education and the case study affords you unmatched consulting experience.
