Best Practices for Backup and Disaster Recovery

• No plan is complete if it hasnt 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.
