| ===== 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. | 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.

| 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". |

| Once the volumes are moved to an off-site Repository, the DR Strategy will gain a status of "OK". | Once the [[object:volume|volumes]] are moved to an offsite [[object:repository|Repository]], the DR Strategy will gain a status of "OK". |

| * **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 Repository set as off-site, the latency allows time for [[object:volume|Volumes]] to arrive at the off-site [[object:repository|Repository]] before affecting [[master:library_health|Library Health]]. | * **Latency**: Latency sets a certain number of minutes before the DR Strategy is included in the [[master:library_health|Library Health]] Score.
