Week 5 Disaster Recovery Comments"

1. Faculty machines are not backed-up by IT. It is our job as faculty to make sure that documents that we care about are on the n:\ drive or on One Drive.
2. Faculty can control when a Canvas course disappears. I can see my Fall 2013 Junior Seminar but I have set it so that it is no longer visible to students.
3. In answer to a question from one group: Sedona is a system to record faculty information such as publications, courses taken, couruses taught, etc. so that the information is easily avaiable during accreditation reviews. EZLabor is a cloud based timekeeping and reporting package provided by ADP (formerly Automatic Data Processing). Blackbaud Raiser's Edge is a system to keep track of donor and contribution information. Almost every non-profit wants or needs to have a system to do this.
4. The reason that there is not information about security breaches in the DR plan is that Dominican has a separate set of secuity documents. Dominican uses an outside firm to do security reviews and make recommendations. I have not asked to get this information for us because I haven't wanted to invest effort in redacting the documents.
5. Based on your questions, I will follow-up with our CIO Jill Albin-Hill on the following:
   1. Is the recovery time we specified in our contract with AT&T 4 hours or 24 hours (why)?
   2. What protections do we have from fire, water, heat, surge?
   3. How often do we update our DR plan?
