Hello,

I am currently working on my master thesis on the subject of improving the process of disaster recovery in IT. The title of my thesis paper is “A Plan to Prevail: Strengthening the Resilience of Disaster Recovery Processes”. As part of this thesis I am conducting a survey where I compare general information about disaster recovery processes already in place.

I would really appreciate if you participated in this survey to help me with this master’s thesis. Please feel free to forward this survey link the folks you know in the IT Industry. All answers I get are helpful to my thesis.

The survey should no more than 5 minutes to complete, there are a total of 36 questions. Please complete survey before June 15th.

The survey is available at:


Thank you in advance for you support,
Patricia

Note: Information gathered from this survey will be used to prove/disprove a theory outlined in my Masters Thesis. All information are confidential and, outside of basic demographic information, anonymous.

Thanks - this is a useful effort. A few quick, practical suggestions that will make responses easier to analyze and more valuable for your thesis.

When answering or recommending colleagues to respond, encourage concrete, standardized inputs: company size and sector, clearly named critical systems, Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) as numeric values, backup cadence (with units), recovery site type (cold/warm/hot), whether failover is automated, and how often DR tests are run plus their outcomes. Ask respondents to use consistent units (hours, minutes, GB) and fixed scales for subjective items. Also capture third-party dependencies and the business impact tier for each system so you can stratify results rather than averaging across incomparable cases.

For reference templates and accepted guidance, see NIST SP 800-34 Rev. 1 and FEMA continuity guidance. If you like, I can review question wording to reduce ambiguity or suggest a simple analysis plan (cross-tabs by sector and size, RTO/RPO distributions, correlations with testing frequency).
