Hmm, testing the recovery of files from the backup tapes? <br>Simulating a server shutdown with a electrical failure by power cycling a UPS? <br>Pushing the red button on a power board to see what happens?<br><br>Regards Roland

Hi Mark<br><br>I think it means defining the disaster recovery strategies themselves (e.g.<br>backup, etc), then showing a means by how those strategies can be tested ,<br>ie, simulate a power-loss breakdown for a server and see how long it takes
<br>to recover<br><br>Bill<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: <a href="mailto:itapps-bounces@edulists.com.au">itapps-bounces@edulists.com.au</a> [mailto:<a href="mailto:itapps-bounces@edulists.com.au">itapps-bounces@edulists.com.au
