Abstract
A method of recovering a registry includes accessing a plurality of registry zone files for the registry and archiving, on a first periodic basis, the plurality of registry zone files. Each of the registry zone files includes at least domain names, registrar IDs, and status information represented in a first predetermined format. The method also includes accessing bulk WHOIS data for the registry and archiving, on a second periodic basis, the bulk WHOIS data. The bulk WHOIS data includes at least nameserver server names, IP addresses, and status information represented in a second predetermined format. The method further includes validating one of the plurality of archived registry zone files based on a comparison between the plurality of registry zone files and the bulk WHOIS data, publishing the validated registry zone file to a second registry's nameservers, initiating a root zone change request, and updating authoritative nameservers.
