Workload &
business constraints.
A successful backup job does not establish that an application can be recovered. A useful plan includes data access, credentials, application configuration and a person who can verify the recovered service.
When this service fits
- Backups exist but have never been restored
- A business application needs a recovery runbook
- Retention and restore permissions are unclear
Delivery plan.
