(Everybody thinks they know what they have on their networks, but most people don’t really know how many servers they have, or how they’re configured, or what applications reside on them-what services were running, what version of software or operating systems they were using. Asset management tools claim to do the trick here, but they often fail to capture important details about software revisions and so on.
2. Failure to bring the business into the planning and testing of your recovery efforts.
3. Failure to gain support from senior-level managers. The largest problems here are:
- Not demonstrating the level of effort required for full recovery.
- Not conducting a business impact analysis and addressing all gaps in your recovery model.
- Not building adequate recovery plans that outline your recovery time objective, critical systems and applications, vital documents needed by the business, and business functions by building plans for operational activities to be continued after a disaster.
- Not having proper funding that will allow for a minimum of semiannual testing.
