May 31st isn't a good day for me... -----Original Message----- From: Chris Scharff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 11:33 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Disaster recovery planning for the new year.
How many of you did a test restore of your Exchange environment this year? [1] Frightfully few I'm afraid. For those who know they didn't test as much as they should, perhaps a new year resolution (and plan to achieve same) is in order. Join me now in scheduling your disaster recovery testing for the new year. Here are the dates I'll be testing my recovery scenarios [3]. Friday, March 29 Friday, May 31 Friday, July 26 Friday, October 25 Reminders set a week in advance. Time blocked out to allow sufficient time to complete the task. First test scheduled late enough in the new year to allow for acquisition of additional hardware and development of test plan if needed. Schedule the time now or you'll never find the time. As an Exchange sage once noted, the wrong time to be practicing your disaster recovery plan is in the middle of a disaster. Do yourself, your employer and the rest of the community a favor and schedule your practice sessions now. [1] Rhetorical question. [2] [2] Definition for Amit Hanji: rhetorical question n. A question to which no answer is expected, often used for rhetorical effect. [3] In my lab anyway.
