Information lifecycle management is not normally associated with business continuity and disaster recovery, but in fact they share many common features. This paper outlines these similarities and provides techniques for leveraging existing business continuity and disaster recovery investments for more efficient overall information management. Although generally not considered to be related, Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), Business Continuity (BC), and Disaster Recovery (DR) all have the same basic goal: to keep business working through proper information management. By understanding the relationship among these three disciplines, information managers can help ensure proper information safeguards while conserving resources.
