“Despite the growing awareness of the need to protect corporate critical business processes and data against loss due to disasters, and the associated increase in resources allocated to meet the challenge, organizations are still facing obstacles in making sure that their DR objectives will be met.  The fact is, today most DR strategies will not work when put to the test.  Enterprise data remains inadequately protected.”
