Backup and recovery has mostly focused on the first part: the backup. The administrators in charge spend most of their time making sure nightly backups are complete while running any necessary fixes.

The only time most people think about recovery is when they really need to recover. That’s like finding out your fire extinguisher isn’t working while the flames are already spreading.

With so much at stake in your environment, you can’t afford to wait that long to discover that you have a problem with your backups. You can’t risk waiting until you need it to find out your recovery isn’t working.The consequences of doing it wrong can be serious.
