Abstract
Management Information System (MIS) disaster and contingency planning are the principal ingredients for the success of a computer center's reorganization pending a system loss but there is is very little information published addressing the details of how to be assured of a proper backup and recovery strategy. Disaster planning is a phrase we are using to describe the act of preparing for a disaster, such as backup procedures, insurance acquisition, fire protection and maintenance of a contingency plan. The contingency plan, on the other hand, explicitly covers the recovery procedures, responsibilities, and supplementary disaster planning, that should take place once a disaster occurs. It should be clear that there is a cyclical relationship between these two tightly related planning functions. For that reason we will use the term disaster plan to refer to both disaster and contingency planning.
