	Business Continuity Planning
		Business Continuity Planning is the process of identifying critical data systems and business functions, analyzing the risks of disruption to the data systems and business functions, determining the probability of a disruption occurring and then developing business resumption plans (BRP's) to enable those systems and functions to be resumed in the event of a disruption.
		The goal of an effective business resumption plan and recovery process is to facilitate and expedite the resumption of business after a disruption of critical or impacting data systems and operations has occurred.
		Planning and conducting test exercises should be the joint responsibility of the data center, application administrators and the user(s).
