John Holloway Dec 9, 2009:
Relocation coordinator? (I now realise that recovery/workaround/relocate are three increasingly radical steps in a system failure solution process. See the quote at para 5, sentence 1, http://www.disaster-resource.com/articles/is_your_facility_r...
philgoddard Dec 9, 2009:
I've come across this before - it means using backup systems or data, possibly at a remote location, after your own have failed. I'm not sure what it's called though.
Kate Hudson (X) Dec 9, 2009:
What is the general context of this sentence? What's the rest of the text about?
geenstijl (X) (asker) Dec 9, 2009:
more There is an 'uitwijkcoördinator' as well.

evasion situation

Practically a direct translation.
Example sentence:

The password may only be used in the case of calamities or evasion situations.

Peer comment(s):
disagree philgoddard : I don't think wilderness survival is relevant to this context.

That's just one example: as I understand it, it is a term that can be applied to most 'desperate' situation that need to be evaded or avoided.s

relocations; workaround situations

I'm not sure of this but offer my guess and the perhaps obvious info that this is a specific, technical term that implies the use of alternative computer resources at an alternative physical site, in the event of failure of the usual resource. (See first search result (a PDF) at http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=uitwijksituaties&ei=UTF-8&f...
For English see Paragraph 5, sentence 1 (both of my guessed terms appear in it) at http://www.disaster-resource.com/articles/is_your_facility_r... (also used as an example, below).
Example sentence:

The plan should be developed to recover, to "work-around" equipment and/or system failures, or to relocate to another facility.

uitwijksituatie = fallback situation

IT Disaster Recovery Planning (IT DRP) involves planning for the recovery of critical IT systems and services in a fallback situation following a disaster that overwhelms the resilience arrangements; examples include manually restoring IT systems and data on alternate/standby equipment from backups or archives, utilizing emergency communications facilities etc.

In the event of the terminal being unable to communicate with the National, it will default to a ‘fallback’ situation. This means transactions will be stored within the terminal and passed to the National when communications are restored, minimising interruptions to your
business.

Dit biedt grote voordelen voor een eventuele uitwijksituatie (bijvoorbeeld ontruiming HCC vanwege gasalarm, uitwijk naar OCC). Bij het HCC zijn vanaf het begin in een aparte ruimte drie Hocs-werkplekken ingericht als fallback voor OCC, maar nu zijn ook in het frontoffice van het OCC drie werkplekken ingericht als fallback voor HCC.
