Re: Smaller Operations The thing is, you never know how good your disaster recovery plans are until the day you need them :/
There's been tons of documented cases of "backups to the backups" failing when then were needed most.

Absolutely true. And why backups and disaster plans need to be tested regularly.

The track record isn't that impressive. Everytime IT here does a large scale test it always causes an unintended large scale outage !
Still, it has gotten better. Many systems are now battery backed up that didn't use to be. Of course, the batteries often sit for years untested.... :/

| The purpose of a DR test to test the business continuation model. Only critical systems are usually tested at DR. The company I work for does this once a year at Sun guard. It is kind of exciting to go. It shows how good you are a thinking on you feet. |
