Mike replied to me the following:

Certainly Nathaniel,

I certify that I am the original author of the article "Seven tiers of Disaster Recovery" that is hosted on the http://recoveryspecialties.com website. Some or all of this information was then submitted to the Wikipedia. This information was submitted with the appropriate permissions and no copyright problems exist.

Will that do it?
