The vendors you are planning to purchase from will definitely have &quot;white papers&quot;-slash-&quot;case studies&quot; &nbsp;that will help your cause. &nbsp;(Both software and hardware vendors) &nbsp;Reach out to them, explain you need something to take to management - they will have tons of stuff for you to use. &nbsp;They pay salespeople for a reason - give those folks an opportunity to earn their pay - they will be happy to provide you with this stuff.<br />
<br />
Even looking at a vendor's website will yield lots of stuff like this - you can do this for vendors you are not considering purchasing from.<br />
<br />
Then, it's up to you to find amongst this pile some that may be applicable to your situation and present this.

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I am hoping you can help me and I hope this makes sense.<br />
<br />
I work for a small business and have for several years. &nbsp;Prior to my arrival there were no back ups. &nbsp;We now currently have almost everything backed up, almost.<br />
<br />
In researching and preparing our next Phase of the disaster recovery plan that I wrote up, it's time to purchase.<br />
I laid out 4 different options and what we could need, all the options and comparisons and cost.<br />
<br />
Now my superiors want to see how my plan compares to other big companies plans and standards.<br />
<br />
How do I even do this or explain it? &nbsp;It's different for everyone and no company is the same including ours?<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
<br />

Back Up and Recovery Resource Help

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.
