Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / security memo
Dutch term or phrase: calamiteitenschakeling
"Met X kunnen afspraken worden gemaakt met betrekking tot een calamiteitenschakeling en/of andere vormen van telefoonopvang."

This term appears in a memo on fallback scenarios in the event of physical disasters. Research indicates that this has to do with disaster fallback recovery schemes, but the precise term is eluding me. Feedback appreciated. Cheers, R.

disaster recovery fallback/cutover
Explanation:
Hoi Robert, I think you are on the right lines.
Although it is literally disaster switching, our friends in the communications busines prefer longer buzzwords

Try Google with these references and you'll probably find disaster recovery cutover or disaster recovery fallback will fit your requirement, unless you specifically want to include the telephone in the term you use, then just use disaster recovery telephone cutover/whatever, although it does refer to other type of telephone recovery at the end of the sentence.

Explanation:
dutch 'calamiteit' isn't english 'calamity' or disaster.
it's a polite way of calling sth a snafu (i'm minding my french here).

(straatverlichting: ingeval van een calamiteit valt deze terug
op noodverlichting; geen rampenteam.)
