Dear Experts,

We would like to plan disaster recovery for our organization. Need suggestion for the following

1. What is the best and recommended process on which we can design our Disaster recovery.

2. Should we plan only for production or we should plan for production and development server

3. Current and DR server should migrate in such a way both server run on real time or we can

migrate data once in a day.

Googling Oracle Dataguard setup on Oracle 10G can explain you better even with step by step how to configure.

Hi Jitesh,

You can you Oracle Data Guard for the DR setup.

It is always recommended to place your DR server on a different geographical location. Say your primary site is in Mumbai then have your DR site in South India. In this way you can ensure that if there a flood/ earthquake your DR site is in safe place.

Usually many companies plan DR setup only for the production system, coz for the business continuity plan. Development servers are not that critical, if you have a backup in place building it up will take few hours. Setting up a DR for dev systems will increase in infrastructure cost like servers, leased line etc....

DR server should always be in sync with the production server, for eg 10 min of data loss is acceptable.

Let me know if you need any help in setting it up
