DR planning

Disaster recovery planning is a never ending stream of "What ifs?"

• What if the DNS is not available in a timely fashion?
• What if there are too many CPUs configured in a machine?
• What if there are not enough?
• What if a tape library breaks down? How long will the restore take then?
• What if we want to test our external web presence on the web?
• What if someone finds the internet available test FTP server and transfers info to it thinking it's production?
• What if the recovery boxes can't talk to other production boxes that were not recovered because they are on the recovery network?
• What if I say "recovery" too many times in one sentence?

All these questions and more have to be answered.
