Hello everyone, We're currently working on a project to help our school - Montclair State University to assess the present Disaster Recovery Plan and going to update with any helpful considerations. So we'd appreciate if any of you could help us with the following brief survey. I'll re-organize your answers and send back to anyone who might be interested later. Thank you in advance and best regards, Dr. Ruben Hsing Leader of DRP Research Group Professor of MIS Montclair State University, NJ xingr () mail montclair edu ================================================================= Please Help to Complete the Survey (Simply add your answers under each questions or feel free to use additional sheet or other preferred formats) 1. Did your school ever experience any major business interruptions (BI)? If No, please go to #3. If Yes, what were the main causes (technical failure, security flaws, man-made attacks, natural disasters or other...)? 2. Please briefly tell what were the major losses caused by BI (either academic, administrative, or financial, or all)? Any rough figures you would like to release? 3. Does your school currently have any Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)? If NO, are you planning to do so and how soon? 4. Does your DRP perform at hot, warm, and cold site? If yes, how closely are they located? Do you own, rent or share these remote sites? 5. What's the rough percentage of your DRP costs among the total IT budgets at your organization? Are you going to increase, decrease or remain the current DRP budget? 6. What major technologies your current DRP uses? (e.g. fast tape backup, remote tape backup, SAN, DAS, NAS....) 7. What are major constraints your schools currently have to implement DRP? Any other DRP concerns you'd like to share with us? ===================================================================== ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/memdir/cg/.
