The Disaster Recovery Hub
I carried disaster recovery responsibility for twenty years, and the real disasters found me: lightning through the building, six safety nets failing in one morning, three days of downtime over a filename. These articles are what the disasters taught, written for the leaders who own recovery when the plan meets reality.
No pitch. No pressure.
You cannot prevent the lightning. You decide, in advance, what survives it.
Disaster recovery is not a binder on a shelf. It is verified redundancy, tested restores, rehearsed procedures, and the humility to assume every safety net fails silently until proven otherwise. This hub covers the real disasters, the recoveries, and the discipline that came out of them.
When everything fails at once
The worst crashes are not one failure. They are every safety net failing together, silently, in advance.
The small causes of big outages
Disasters do not scale with the size of their causes.
Planning, testing, and exercises
A recovery plan that has never run is a hypothesis with a binder.
Did you own recovery when it counted?
The leaders who carried a company through real disasters hold judgment nobody can fake, and almost nobody writes it down. A book turns those scars into authority. Let’s talk about yours.
