Glad to know you are working again. Might be time to get a backup and test your DR plans. What do you go for?
- Your own hardware always running/replicating at another site
- Your own hardware but idle and overwritten with your production system when you need it
- A 3rd party supplier at another site with a blank machine that you overwrite when you need it
That leads on to two questions:-
- If it's an overwrite, what tool do you use to get the first boot of your recovered OS.
- If it's always running & replicating, how do you protect yourself from a catastrophic error being replicated, rather than just hardware failure?
Regards,
Robin
