Abstract: A Recovery Maturity Index 1 (RMM) is used to determine whether a particular Information Technology (IT) production environment is relatively mature enough to successfully execute the disaster recovery (DR). The RMI provides a quantitative analysis in terms of a set of categories for elements that characterize the environment and multiple elements for each category. At least some of the elements depend upon the extent to which automation components have been leveraged for disaster recovery. A summation of the scoring elements, which may be a weighted summation, results in an overall quantitative metric. The metric can used to determine whether or not disaster recovery can be expected to be successful.
