Well, based upon my experience, it might truly have been a "network outage". Though I was a systems guy, networking & communucations was my area of expertise. Redundent systems and backup data is often the easy part....accessing it is a whole 'nuther matter
.
Odds are, if an organization is not actually running off the DR platforms on a regular basis (as some have noted), then it's just a paper drill, an no one really has a clue if it will work as designed when needed...jmnsho.
