Define Disaster Recovery Requirements

The following are some general guidelines to consider for defining requirements for a disaster recovery plan:

1. Assemble a team with the following knowledge:
   • Knowledge of the architecture and systems that support CA IdentityMinder
   • Knowledge of how to back up the relational databases and LDAP user stores used by CA IdentityMinder
2. Identify potential disaster scenarios to address, including partial or complete loss of systems at one or more sites.
3. List the systems that are critical to be available to support your installation.
4. Define the acceptable maximum downtime for each of these systems.

   For example, systems that support an alternate server may have a lower priority for restoration.
