Explanation

A cold site is a type of backup site that provides the basic infrastructure, such as power, climate control, raised flooring, and telephone wiring, but not the computer and peripheral equipment. A cold site requires a longer recovery time than a warm site or a hot site, as the equipment and data need to be transported and installed at the site. A warm site is a backup site that has some of the equipment and data ready, but not fully operational. A hot site is a backup site that has all the equipment and data ready, and can be switched on immediately. A reciprocal site is an agreement between two organizations to use each other's facilities in case of a disaster.
