The people doing the MF recovery vary by test. It's typically someone on the 
operational side of the house, with the folks that maintain the procedures 
riding shotgun. 
Our sysprog team is geographically dispersed (US/NL/PRC) so chances are there's 
someone left that wasn't swallowed by the giant crater.

Subject: Re: DR Failover

Never got traction on two of my questions, which are independent of technology.

-- During a failover (test I would presume), who actually performs the DR 
procedure whatever it is? Sysprogs, operators, production control folks, or 
someone else? Has anyone dared to bring in a non-technical person like a 
manager? This question is crucial to business resiliency because, depending the 
reason for failover, your top technical folks may be indisposed for an extended 
duration.

-- If you stayed in the DR environment long enough to have captured/updated 
live customer data, how did you eventually return to the production 
environment? This question is crucial to business resiliency because at some 
point down the line, you have to return or, as the poem goes, settle in for a 
long winter's nap.
