A disaster recovery tool includes a server monitoring engine, a configuration engine, a security engine, and a runtime engine. The server monitoring engine detects a production server and determines that a disaster recovery server should be created for the production server. The configuration engine compares database configuration files for the production server and the disaster recovery server and copies the database configuration file for the production server to the disaster recovery server. The security engine compares user logins and file sharing credentials of the production server and the disaster recovery server and copies the user login and file sharing credential of the production server to the disaster recovery server. The runtime engine compares database jobs and schedules of the production server and the disaster recovery server and copies the database job and schedule of the production server to the disaster recovery server.
