9. Definitions..
Disaster Recovery:
Disaster recovery is the process by which you
resume business after a disruptive event.
The event might be something huge-like an
earthquake or the terrorist attacks on the
World Trade Center-or something small, like
malfunctioning software caused by a
computer virus.

10. Definitions..
Business Continuity:
The activity performed by an organization to ensure that
critical business functions will be available to
customers, suppliers, regulators, and other entities that
must have access to those functions.
In other words…
"Business continuity planning" suggests a more
comprehensive approach to making sure you can keep
making money.
