To quell the growing concerns over data theft, many companies have switched from physical tape backup to disk-based solutions and data vaulting whereby data is transmitted to a disaster recovery site over a public or private network.
While this alleviates the obvious worries over physical backup tapes, it presents some considerations for disaster recovery (DR) testing. In a peer-to-peer implementation when businesses are conducting their DR testing, some businesses tend to break the data replication process�putting them at risk for lengthy data recovery delays and the possibility of non-compliance with regulatory guidelines.
