[Year 12 IT Apps] ITA study design query

I think it means actually test the recovery process you have in place.
Actually go through the process of bringing the shadow up from a
mirrored array. Actually restore from bk up. Of course some of these
things are hard to do whilst maintaining the live state of the system
but still you have to "test" the disaster recovery or management
procedures in place.

Ain't the list great...

Spring is in the air and a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts

of the ITA study design.

ITA Key Knowledge Unit 4 Outcome 2  Dotpoint 5 is "Disaster recovery 
strategies, including testing."

I've been wondering how testing can help one recover from disaster. 
Sure it can help _prevent_ disaster, but that's not "recovery".

How does testing help after the disaster has struck??

Any ideas?
