Testing - Keep it Simple
For your first test, you can find great value in a "Table Top Exercise." This usually consists of a day-long meeting with your disaster recovery team. The goal is to simulate the steps taken during a recovery in order to test the plan, identify shortcomings, and help employees practice their recovery responsibilities. Once your team is confident in their responsibilities and your plan, you can gradually add layers of complexity to your test program each year.
If you have specific questions or just want to learn more, we would encourage you to join Agility's educational webinar on Wednesday, January 19, at 2pm EST,
