Disaster recovery for archives, libraries and records management systems in Australia and New Zealand
1 online resource (xiii, 157 pages) : illustrations
Floods, fires or earthquakes can cause critical damage to books and to records. A recovery effort which is well-intentioned but ill-informed or hasty may make the damage far worse. What should be done? What should not be done? This is the first book on disaster recovery specifically tailored for the Australasian market. The book discusses factors which should be considered by managers before setting up a disaster recovery plan, including prevention and insurance. It covers, in detail, the content and development of a disaster plan and considers training programs for those staff who are involved. There is an account of the history of disaster recovery with special attention given to disasters occurring in Australia and New Zealand and to the recovery efforts which have been mounted.
Chapter 1. An historical overview -- chapter 2. Management issues in disaster recovery planning -- chapter 3. Preparing a disaster recovery plan part 1 : writing the plan -- chapter 4. Training the teams.
