And The Fog Recedes

I've finally emerged from the fog of a new contract job where everything is new and undiscovered, and am finding my place again in a different corporate culture. I came from a place that was fraught with the threat of layoffs and political undertones. The job was no longer about talent and expertise, but about how to make your boss happy, even if he was illogical. (I don't play that game very well, I admit.) But my being laid off was a blessing of the best kind. Even though its a contract job, I've landed right where I belong. I like fringe stuff, in fact, I thrive on it. So disaster recovery has become my life and I LOVE IT! No one likes to think about all the ways things could go wrong in a serious way, so I've made it a puzzle and doesn't everyone in the technology field like a good puzzle? And yes, disaster recovery is quite possibly the lowest priority item on most people's long list of things to do, but making a puzzle out of it, at least makes it interesting.

So, I apologize for the lapse in my blog, but I believe I've emerged from the storm and welcome your thoughts on the topic of disaster recovery and business continuity planning.What are some of your interesting techniques to encourage your team to consider recovery strategies in a disaster?
