My disaster recovery plan:

  1. I plan on not having a disaster.

  2. If I do have a disaster, I plan on trying to recover from it.

We definitely have a DR plan at work that includes steps that must be performed at least one hour prior to the disaster occurring. Its quite a joke.

All disasters must be scheduled ahead of time and receive approval in the disaster pre-approval process. Failure to do so prior to disaster means this is an unauthorized disaster, and the disaster recovery committee is not responsible for ad hoc incidents caused by improper planning

May i ask what these steps entail? And are there any horoscopes involved?

So, do they have these tasks performed every hour and redundant elsewhere or was this just bad planning a la “write the directions to make a PB&J” homework assignment?
