- After a disaster, don't count on employees being willing to fly to alternate work sites.
- Distribute key disaster recovery personnel across many geographic locations.
- Turn disaster recovery data centers into active work sites.
- Disaster recovery plans are living, breathing things. Keep them up to date and make sure employees are well versed in them.
- Seek vendors with plenty of longevity and geographically dispersed offices for disaster recovery.
- Make sure portals to your outsourcing vendor are dedicated or have enough bandwidth to handle multiple companies seeking fast restores.
- Make sure that not just your vendor but you understand how to back up and restore systems.
- Verify that backup tapes can restore data.
