Aunque a menudo se perciben como un mal necesario, las pruebas periódicas de recuperación en caso de catástrofe van más allá de comprobar cómo se las arreglará una empresa si fallan sus sistemas. Unas pruebas de recuperación ante desastres exhaustivas y objetivas pueden arrojar información interesante sobre lo que funciona y lo que no funciona correctamente en su infraestructura de TI, además de proporcionarle un nivel muy necesario de garantía de recuperación.

Many companies test only areas of their IT systems with which they are familiar and are, ironically, already pretty confident that they’re recoverable. So the process of testing becomes one of passing a DR test, rather than a realistic understanding of which systems will be returned to their original state (OS, applications, data, and configuration information) in the event of a disaster. Testing within your comfort zone will not give you the recovery assurance you need, nor the necessary facts and figures for auditors, management KPIs, and informed IT infrastructure and support purchases.

Recovery Simulator allows users of Cristie’s recovery software (which supports leading backup solutions such as IBM Spectrum Protect, EMC NetWorker and Avamar, and CommVault Simpana) to schedule recovery simulations to a cloud or virtual environment. This automates vital disaster recovery testing at minimal cost. Full reporting provides detailed information on problems encountered and an audit track of successful test results. Useful if external regulations, such as HIPPA, demand that you prove your data is secure and recoverable.
