from The Backup Wrap-Up
Ready to level up your disaster recovery testing game? This episode covers everything from basic restore testing to full-scale DR scenarios. Curtis and Prasanna share real-world experiences and practical advice for implementing effective disaster recovery testing strategies. Learn why starting small is crucial, how to define clear success criteria, and ways to test without risking your production environment. We discuss different infrastructure types, from physical servers to cloud platforms, and explain how each requires its own testing approach. Plus, get insights on creating effective runbooks and ensuring your team can execute recovery procedures without depending on specific individuals. Whether you're planning your first DR test or looking to improve existing procedures, this episode provides actionable guidance for building confidence in your recovery capabilities. BTW if you want to watch/listen to the Alaska DR story, I'm actually going to repost it next week.
