While Disaster Recovery is something we hope no company ever has to use, with business applications becoming the life blood of our business processes, well tested, end to end disaster recovery and business continuity plans do not just make good business sense, for more and more businesses they are becoming a legal / insurance requirement.

The normal solution for this is to outsource this activity to 3rd party organisations who provide you with a syndicated / shared access to the necessary hardware to recover your systems onto. While this will likely include the installation of an Operating System it will be unlikely that it will cover the full restoration of your business application and functional testing.
