Preface Many organizations require continuous operation of their mission-critical, IBM® FileNet® P8 systems after a failure has occurred. A failure can be caused by relatively small equipment problems, or a large-scale disaster such as a flood, earthquake, hazardous attacks, or other unexpected events. Loss of system resources and services as a result of any failure can translate directly into lost customers and lost revenue. The goal, therefore, is to design and implement a FileNet P8 system that ensures continuous operation even after a failure happens. A combination of techniques and practices that are available to design and implement such a system fall into two main categories: High availability: The ability to maintain operations by eliminating single points of failure in hardware or software, generally with zero data loss Disaster recovery: The ability to resume operations after a larger-scale failure and minimize business data loss This IBM Redbooks® publication focuses on FileNet P8 Version 4.5.1 systems disaster recovery. The book covers strategies, preparation levels, site sizing, data replication, testing, and what to do during a disaster. Backup and restore
