Best Practices for Backup and Disaster Recovery

No plan is complete if it hasn’t been tested!
 Fire Drill Example
 Things can go wrong – make sure you know what they are.
 Have you tested your current process?
 Do you know if your strategy will work if your current hardware and systems
are not available?
 Your strategy needs to incorporate options for portability so that you
can test on non-production systems.
 Verification! Your backup and disaster recovery plan must address
verification so that you know that your backups are reliable.
