Are conventional recovery timeframes of 24 or 48
hours simply too long to meet your current business availability
requirements?
|
 |
Are your
contingency planning initiatives meant to really protect the business
or simply to satisfy audit or management concerns?
|
 |
Are all of
your backup files synchronized between all applications, all platforms
and all locations?
|
 |
Can you
really restore all backup data in the time allowed by your recovery
time objective?
|
 |
Have you
ever tested all applications and are your business personnel willing to
guarantee that all applications can be restored correctly?
|
 |
Are your
business personnel ready to wait 24 or 48 hours for their systems to
return and do they know what to do while they’re waiting?
|
 |
Does your
planned recovery time include the time it will take for management to
really "pull the trigger" and declare a disaster?
|
 |
Can you
really afford to lose the data from the last back-up... do you have
plans to reconstruct it or will it be lost forever... have your
business personnel ever actually reconstructed it?
|
 |
Does
management really understand the extent of your recoverability and
exactly what won’t be recovered?
|
 |
Have your
recovery architectures significantly improved over the past few years
or are you retesting the same old things?
|
 |
Do you feel
that you are paying more than you should for your recovery capabilities?
