continuity of your business processes by eliminating all single point of
failures in the event of natural or man made disasters. The Disaster
recovery strategy helps in protecting mission-critical data, reducing
downtime and enables your organizations to resume business immediately
following a disaster or other unplanned interruption.

completeness and overall adequacy.
