Sure, managers have been known to do silly things once or twice <g> but there is no need for a surprise, unplanned rollback, right? A realistic DR drill would require a surprise, but the rollback could be planned, no?

Well f*&%#d at the moment: Data center up in smoke, bank website, app down . The Register Willy-nilly is about notification and opportunity for preparation. For example, management declares a surprise DR drill on a Saturday morning. So the techs execute their well-rehearsed swap-over plan and begin running production at the DR site. Real live transactions with actual customer data. The old production site is now obsolete. Then Sunday at noon management decides to roll back before the new week starts off. There is no time to plan. No time to test. The entire environment has to copied back to prod overlaying the old data. And it has to work from the get-go. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
