Disaster Recovery Plan Generator
PROCreate comprehensive IT disaster recovery plans with NIST SP 800-34 alignment, RTO/RPO targets, backup strategies, failover architecture, and testing frameworks.
Example Usage
“Create a disaster recovery plan for our 200-person e-commerce company running on AWS. Critical systems: order processing (2-hour RTO), payment gateway (30-minute RTO), customer database (1-hour RPO). Primary concerns: ransomware attacks, us-east-1 regional outages, and database corruption. We need backup strategies, failover architecture to us-west-2, detailed runbooks, and a quarterly testing program. Budget is moderate - we can invest in warm standby but not active-active.”
