SECTION 3:
Creating a DR Plan
Create a detailed DR plan that outlines the steps and sequence
of recovery actions:
Design the Target DR Site: Configure the target DR site to
match your production environment as closely as possible.
Develop Custom Scripts: If necessary, create custom
scripts to automate recovery processes.
Align with Existing Procedures: Ensure the new DRaaS
works seamlessly with your recovery procedures.
Assemble DR Team: Form a team with clear recovery roles
and responsibilities.
Initial and Ongoing Testing
Testing is essential to validate the effectiveness of your DR plan:
▪ Select Snapshots and Validate Failover: Choose specific snapshots and
perform failover tests to ensure systems can be recovered as planned.
▪ Update and Retest: If any issues are found during testing, update
the DR plan until it is reliable and consistent.
▪ Test Regularly: Schedule regular tests to validate the DR plan's
effectiveness.
▪ Document and Implement Changes: Integrate any changes into your
existing procedures.
