Quick question for IT support type person
Im writing short article that involves IT - probably my worst subject :-( and quickly need a phrase/word in the right terminology...
If a server/network thing collapses as a result of something, say a powercut, what term would you use for the process of IT people running around making it all better and getting 'stuff' all up and running again? ta :thumb: |

There are various names for it depending on who you speak to.
As KiwiGTI says Disaster recovery is the most widely used / understood. |
Incident Management?
|
Reboot !
Why be so dramatic? if a server goes down due to a power failure, 99 times out of a 100 you just reboot it !! Disaster recovery is used after a disaster. A disaster is usually when a reboot doesn't work and replacement hardware needs to be sourced. A disaster can be anything from water damage to fire damage to server blowing up etc. |

Actually it would be "Problem Management" leading to "Continuity Management".
Disaster Recovery is such old hat. Edited to say this is ITIL |
It's called "Routine maintenance" if it's a windows based system :D
|
I agree that DR is probably the best phrase. It's probably dramatic sounding as depending on what your DR plan is, or lack of one, there could be some serious repercussions.
Have a look here for some info on DR, might be other terms mentioned there. |
System Restore :thumb:
|
Bringing online?
Restoring services? Fixing fcuk up? ;) |
"it's broken with a capital F"

Followed by the Blamestorming mentioned above :D |
It's still called Disaster Recovery, whether some people think it's old hat or not. It's exactly what it is. Generally you'll already have a DR plan in place, in which case you'd just "failover to the DR datacentre" and carry on as if nothing's really happened.
I've never even heard the term "System Restoration" used in that context, probably because it's inaccurate. |
