As part of my customer visits to do audits you get to hear their tales of woe. 1. Major outage at main site. All people go to new DR site - they do not have badge access through the doors! 2.As part of a DR walk through, people had to go and physically touch the kit they would be turning on/off. They found some of the kit in locked areas - and none of the DR team had a key! 3.Major power outage on site. They found their recovery bible on what to do ( and how to restart the site) was on a server - which had no power. When power came back, they started the server and the "cloud disks" copied the bible to a laptop, and shut the site down. Then followed the bible. Follow up plan was to print a copy, and keep it in the operations room.
Perhaps someone should write up these sort of tales, and make it required reading at Computer Science school.
