Yes, Contingency plans, whether you call the Business Continuity Plans (BCP), Continuity of Operations Plans (COOPs), whatever, all involve all other aspects beyond "simple" data recovery.

In developing Contingency Plans, should EMO Plans, etc., be targeted specifically to data recovery, or must they be broader? Should our plans include only how we propose to get the data systems back on line, or must we also include how personnel, communications, building repairs, etc., NOT CONNECTED WITH DATA RECOVERY will be handled?
