A failover module generates a user interface to enable an administrative user to define a failover plan for a primary site. The failover plan includes user-specified information for use by multiple operations of a failover process for failing over a server system from the primary site to a failover site. The failover plan can be stored as a data object on a computer system at the failover site. In the event of a serious failure at the primary site, the failover process can be invoked and carried out on the failover site with little or no human intervention, based on the failover plan, to cause the server system to be failed over to the failover site, thereby substantially reducing downtime of the server system and its data.
