disaster recovery
And—make no mistake—there is no absolute answer. Whether you spend the money or accept the risk is an executive decision, and it should be an informed decision. Half-hearted disaster recovery planning (in light of the 2005 hurricane season, 9/11, the Northeast blackout of 2003, and so on) is {a failure to} perform due diligence.
而敷衍了事的灾难恢复规划是{由于}没有开展认真的调查工作？
是这样吗？

"没有开展认真的调查工作，导致灾难恢复规划流于敷衍。" 这样比较好吗?
