Sharon Jones uses BRMS to recover one of her servers after a natural disaster.
In the middle of the night during a particularly wet spring, 8 inches of
rain fell on the main office of the JKL Toy Company. A leak started in the
corner of the roof that quickly turned into a small stream. The development
system, JKLDEV, was positioned near the corner of the building where the water
was leaking in. By the time Sharon arrived for work the next morning, JKLDEV
was ruined.
While repairs were being made to the roof and she was waiting for the new server to be delivered, Sharon contacted her storage service provider and had them bring over the latest recovery report and media for JKLDEV. Then, she went to the recovery hotsite provided by IBM® Business Continuity and Recovery Services. With the assistance of the skilled staff at the hotsite, Sharon followed each of the steps in the recovery report for JKLDEV, referring to the instructions in Backup and Recovery when necessary, until the system was recovered.
Once the roof was repaired and they had a new system to take JKLDEV's place, Sharon did a full backup of the system at the recovery hotsite and then restored the latest data on the new JKLDEV system.
