Disaster recovery test

Yesterday we tested part of our DR plan. This is the bit that restores the major ERP system to functionality. Without this system we're dead in the water.

Recently, we switched this system from a "restore from tape" plan to a "replicate data with Continuous Access" plan. We originally attempted to test this plan back in July, and while this test was declared a failure due to networking setup issues, this one went like a charm.

All systems restored in just over two hours (which I'm hoping we can get under an hour with some more automation).
