The phrase "istimraariyyat al-`amal" (for "business continuity) is well
attested on the Web. It has a high Google score (sorry if the following
long URL gets manged by my e-mailer):
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22%D8%A7%D8%B3%D
8%AA%D9%85%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A9+%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%85%D9%84%

As for the phrase "disaster recovery," there is evidence of "al-in`aash
ba`da l-kawaarith" at two United Nations websites indexed by Google:

9%88%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%AB%22

Note: if you click on the "Cached" link in the Google search results
page you'll be able to find the phrases faster on the page because
they'll be highlighted with a yellow background.

Happy Googles to you all!

I forgot to mention that "disaster recovery" applied to computer systems
has a different translation depending on whether you are recovering data
or functionality: "isti`aadat al-bayaanaat al-taalifa" if it's
recovering or reconstructing lost or corrupted data, and "istirjaa`
`amaliyyaat al-Haasibaat" if it relates to bringing a system back on
line after a crash.
