Unfortunately,
stress breeds more stress.
I??™ve been in this situation countless times with my internal servers, when working for
a private-sector company, and as a consultant being called in for assistance. I??™d like to say
that the process becomes easier with time, but it doesn??™t. Even when you have a documented
plan in place and have practiced it, something new usually crops up. It could be
damaged hardware, it could be invalid backup files, or it could just be not being able to
access the disaster recovery documentation. Whatever happens, it is rarely straightforward,
even in the simplest of restore scenarios. If you have yet to be in a restore situation,
be patient??”you will.
Are you uneasy now? Good. That unease helps keep you on your toes. However, it??™s
also the key to why a restore process can unravel. The restoration process is inherently
filled with emotion and pressure from management, creating a need for teamwork and
constant communication with business users. In this book, I??™ll talk about all of these
aspects, but first you need to understand the technical process, devoid of any external
factors or pressures.
