Recently I completed a disaster recovery plan for a friend. I updated the steps in their building evacuation workbook, developed an emergency call list and found they had a great start on their computer backups process but we found a large gap in the recovery portion of their plan.
They had a wonderful automated backup policy, each computer running a backup plan
across their network to a file server that then burns the whole lot to a tape at the end of each week. They even tested their plan, recovering a computer from the daily network backup and from the weekly tape – I was delighted.
