Disaster Recovery is basically a term which means that the Datacenter is well equipped to combat any kind of natural disaster and there are enough provisions to take care of the data if something happens.

Hello Clark,

As every one know that Disaster is a situation that makes the continuation of normal functions difficult or impossible sometimes, a disaster recovery consists of the precautions taken so that the effects of a disaster will be minimized, and the organization will be able to either maintain or quickly resume mission-critical functions.
