We have a plan in place.  We have a contract with IBM Recovery.  We test the 
plan every year by sending a team to the recovery center with the standard 
backup set where they restore our system and set up remote communications.  
This procedure lets us know if we are backing up what we need to and lets us 
practice recovery.  Works for us.   Lance
