System Recovery Procedures Template

Author(s): Frank Trovato , David Xu

This template provides a structure to document recovery procedures using a leaner approach, and allows you to organize each recovery procedure into the following sections:

  • System dependencies and recovery requirements.
  • System map.
  • Recovery procedure (includes disaster recovery steps and estimated completion time).

Remember that you are writing documentation for an IT audience. Keep the documentation concise by avoiding excess novice-level instructions. Similarly, use checklists and diagrams to streamline recovery procedures.

Use this template in conjunction with the project blueprint, Prepare for a DRP Audit.
