How to Build a Business IT Recovery Checklist That Staff Can Follow

A recovery plan that depends on one expert or inaccessible documentation can fail during an actual disruption.

Checks to make

Write steps in action order, include owners and alternate contacts, identify required access and prerequisites, and state how to verify service recovery. Keep an offline copy and test the checklist with someone who did not write it.

When to get help
