English term or phrase: We have gotten away from the term DR

"DR must be based on a solid BC plan that has taken into account the reality of the business requirements for recovery," says Michael Croy, director of business continuity at IT infrastructure consultancy Forsythe Technology Inc.
And IT organizations are beginning to get the point.
"We have gotten away from the term DR, since it assumes the facility is not available," said Jeff Russell, CIO at The Members Group. "BC, on the other hand, deals with how we continue despite business interruption."
DR指灾难恢复，BC指业务连续性。

灾难恢复的假设是场地完全不能够使用，所以我们已经逐步远离了这种说法。与其比较之下，业务连续性...
