+====== Adding and Maintaining DR Strategies ======
-===== Overview =====
+A Disaster Recovery Strategy, referred to in TapeTrack as a "DR Strategy", is a list of [[object:volume|Volumes]] necessary to restore a system back to a given time in the event of catastrophic system failure. Typically, these DR Strategies are automated through TapeTrack Sync's integration with your back-up software; however, they can be manually created as well.

+===== Creating a DR Strategy =====
-==== Creating a DR Strategy ====
 DR Strategies can be manually created in the DR Strategies Administration Tab by:
-Right-clicking and selecting "Insert" or by pressing the "Insert" key on the keyboard. This will launch the DR Strategy Creation window.
+Right-clicking and selecting ''Add'' or by pressing the **Insert** key on the keyboard. This will launch the DR Strategy Creation window.

-The DR Strategy Creation window will prompt for a description and provide tabs that offer the ability to take notes regarding a DR Strategy and also some various options. A full summary of these options can be found under the Edit DR Strategy page. To create a DR Strategy, enter a description and click "Save". The new DR Strategy will appear in the DR Strategies Administration Tab.
+==== Identity ====
-Return to Inventory Administration Tab Volume List and select the volumes that should be included in the new DR Strategy.
-Right-Click the selected items and navigate through Edit > Copy > Volumes.

 Return to the DR Strategies Administration Tab and double-click or right-click the newly created DR Strategy and select "Properties" to launch the Edit DR Strategy window.
+==== Item List ====
 A new tab will appear that was not in the DR Strategy Creation window called "Item List". Select this tab.
-Right-click and select Edit > Paste. The Volumes that were selected in the Volume List will appear in Item List. If these Volumes are not in a Repository that is set as off-site, their status will appear as "Volume is NOT off-site".
+Right-click and select Edit -> Paste. The [[object:volume|Volumes]] that were selected in the [[view_volume_list|Volume List]] will appear in Item List. If these [[object:volume|Volumes]] are not in a [[object:repository|Repository]] that is set as offsite, their status will appear as "Volume is NOT offsite".
+{{:master:tapemaster_dr_add_paste.png}}
+Once the [[object:volume|volumes]] are moved to an offsite [[object:repository|Repository]], the DR Strategy will gain a status of "OK".

+==== Notes ====
+The Notes Tab provides an area to write notes about a DR Strategy. This can include emergency contacts, plans, instructions, etc.
+==== Options ====
+The Options Tab provides four different options that govern how the DR Strategy behaves.
+  * **Depreciated**: When a DR Strategy is depreciated, it is considered no longer active. This means it no longer affects the [[master:library_health|Library Health]] score but has not yet been deleted.
+  * **Expiry**: The Expiry date sets the date for when the DR Strategy is considered no longer relevant or useful.
+  * **Target Repository**: The Target Repository is the [[object:repository|Repository]] that [[object:volume|Volumes]] in the Item List are sent to when the DR Strategy is executed.
+  * **Latency**: Latency sets a certain number of minutes before the DR Strategy is included in the [[master:library_health|Library Health]] Score. Since a DR Strategy is considered to have errors whenever a [[object:volume|Volume]] in the Item List is not in a [[object:repository|Repository]] set as offsite, the latency allows time for [[object:volume|Volumes]] to arrive at the offsite [[object:repository|Repository]] before affecting [[master:library_health|Library Health]].
+{{:master:tapemaster_dr_add_options.png}}
+===== Deleting a Strategy =====
+To remove a DR strategy, right-click the required strategy, or strategies, and select ''Delete''.
+{{tapemaster_dr_delete.png}}
+Click ''Delete this Item'' to delete one at a time or ''Delete All Items'' to delete a range of strategies.
