Our Disaster Recovery "Fire Drill"


Last Friday our practice had an opportunity to practice our disaster recovery protocol.  This was actually good news; we are replacing our 6 year old servers with virtual servers and a storage area network (SAN).  The implementation plan required more down time than a weekend would provide so we added a Friday to it.

Unlike a real disaster we had the opportunity to prepare immediately before, knowing exactly when the system was going down.
