I feel like increasing output to normal levels is part of the recovery process, but it seems more like a result than the main purpose of the plan.

I think the main goal of a Disaster Recovery Plan is to get critical systems operational again, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only purpose.

The key here is that a Disaster Recovery Plan is about more than just technical systems - it's also about the overall business continuity and getting back to normal operations. I'd say the best answer is C, to return to business as usual.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know a Disaster Recovery Plan is supposed to help a business recover, but I'm not sure if it's just about getting systems back up or if it's also about people's safety and returning to normal operations. I'll have to think this through carefully.
