Disaster Recovery Tip of the week

Ease into testing.

When testing your recovery plan for the first time, simplicity is key. Build out an annual testing strategy and gradually add layers of complexity to your test program each year.
Start by reviewing your written recovery plan with leaders within your company. Walk through a mock disaster scenario and review the responsibilities of key personnel. Once you've established a comfort level, then move on to testing technology, server recovery, and communications.

Simplicity could be employed when testing. Your advice on adding layers of complexity each time you test is a useful suggestion. In my opinion, there are times however, that you must be able to test each variable all at once or simultaneously so you can see how each behave in a complex environment.
