An interesting distinction Mark, I missed that on my first reading although you have raised it before. I guess it is not as if we are airlifting supplies to the tsunami affected coastline, just restarting the IT services.<br>

Hi all. Having seen a couple of (what I consider) dodgy questions about data disaster recovery plans, I am a little concerned about key knowledge dotpoint 9 of U4O2 next year: "disaster recovery strategies and the testing of these strategies". It's not significantly improved from the existing U4O2 KK05 which also refers to 'disaster recovery strategies'.<br>
<br>The dodgy questions were discussing things like rebuilding after fires, sweeping up the mess etc. In other words, disasters rather than <b>data </b>disasters, which is our territory.<br><br>I hope VCAA examiners and SAC writers read the dotpoint as "<b>data</b> disaster recovery strategies and the testing of these strategies" to avoid irrelevant non-ICT questions and student responses.<br>
