Testing - Keep it Simple. Disaster Recovery Tip #3
Submitted by Editor on Wed, 01/19/2011 - 08:21
When testing your recovery plan for the first time, simplicity is key.
For your first test, you can find great value in a "Table Top Exercise." This usually consists of a day-long meeting with your disaster recovery team. The goal is to simulate the steps taken during a recovery in order to test the plan, identify shortcomings, and help employees practice their recovery responsibilities. Once your team is confident in their responsibilities and your plan, you can gradually add layers of complexity to your test program each year.
