definition
BC/DR plan refers to the comprehensive plan of business continuity plan (BC) and disaster recovery plan (DR) .
Program introduction
BC/DR must affect the culture of the enterprise. If you haven't prepared your production system for BC/DR, when changes happen to your production system, they won't automatically be reflected in your preparation.
