  • Subject: DR Plan - Got one? Will it work?
  • From: Sue Underwood <sueu@xxxxxxxxxx>

Friends,

Myself and others have spent the past 10 days or so assisting a company in 
recovering lost data from a failed AS/400.  Trust me, it wasn't fun.  Now 
the point is not that the 400 failed. (We all know that doesn't happen very 
often).  What's important is that the backup and recovery plan of this 
organization didn't work.  Some critical files could be recovered from the 
previous night's backup, but others had to be recovered from a SAVSYS that 
was almost 2 weeks old at the time of the crash.

I don't wish to bore any of you with the details of the recovery, I just 
want you to think about your company and your plan.  Do you have a plan? 
 Have you tested it?  Have you tried a 'hot site' recovery?  Are there 
manual procedures for the users while the system is unavailable?  The 
information tucked away in that pretty, black box is a company asset.  Are 
you doing all you can to protect it?

Food for thought,
Sue
