System Restore Test

System Restore Test

Information Technology is a core element of your business environment. Your company depends on it for everything from processing customer and supplier orders, controlling stock, to running accounts payables and payroll. Backing up your system on a regular basis to ensure the constant security of this information is only one component of a disaster recovery solution. Disaster recovery also means testing your ability to recover your backups.

If a system crash or an unexpected outage brought down your entire system (or your entire building), would you be able to recover your data? How do you know that your tapes will restore properly? Have you ever tested the restoration of your entire system?

Key Benefits

Power Systems (System i) System Restore Test
A disaster recovery plan should incorporate system restore testing. When the unexpected occurs, it may be too late to correct tapes that won’t restore properly. The ACS System Restore Test has been designed to help ensure your current backup procedures capture viable company data that can be restored successfully should disaster strike.

ACS Power Systems (System i) consultants will test the recoverability of your system by using your backup tapes and restore documentation. Consultants will also document any errors that occur during the restore test and provide recommendations to help improve your company’s restore procedures.

Pre-test Checklist
Prior to the Power Systems (System i) System Restore Test, an ACS consultant will conduct a Pre-test Checklist to ensure your company has the appropriate backup tapes for the system restore test. This Pre-test Checklist prevents your company from investing in a system restore test with incomplete or missing backup tapes.

Power Systems (System i) System Restore Document
Following the Power Systems (System i) System Restore Test, you will be provided with detailed documentation of the System Restore Test. This document includes:

List of errors that occurred during the restore process

Power Systems (System i) Disk Space Report
Recommendations for restore process improvement
