Why each option
A Disaster Recovery Plan must include operational, personnel, and timing details to ensure a successful and timely switchover to the DR environment.
The time of year for switching to DR is not a standard DRP component because DR activation is triggered by incidents, not seasonal schedules.
The effort required to switch to the DR solution is essential for resource and feasibility planning, ensuring the organization can actually execute the transition when needed. Without this, teams may be unprepared for the complexity of activating the DR environment.
Administrator support requirements define staffing, roles, and responsibilities during DR activation, which is critical for operational continuity. This ensures the right personnel with the right skills are available and prepared when the DR solution must be invoked.
The number of users on the DR system is a capacity planning concern, not a core operational procedure within the DRP itself.
Cost comparisons of DR methods belong in the business continuity planning or budgeting phase, not in the operational DRP document.
Server availability is an infrastructure inventory concern addressed during DR design and procurement, not a procedural element of the DRP.
The SLA or time frame for switchover directly defines the Recovery Time Objective (RTO), which is the core metric a DRP is designed to meet. This drives all other planning decisions and sets measurable expectations for stakeholders.
