What is a Data Center Disaster Recovery Plan?

• A data center disaster recovery plan (DCRP) is
  essentially a written document that outlines how
  youll respond if an emergency happens at your
  data center. Your DCRP should include information
  about how often you test your backup systems so
  that theyll work when theyre needed most who
  is responsible for what tasks during an emergency
  situation and how long it will take to recover
  from each type of outage (for example, how long
  will it take to get back online if theres a
  blackout or flood).
