Appendix 2. Disaster Recovery Training and Certification

‘I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.’

—Woody Allen

Though your organization may have sufficient internal talent and expertise to provide in-house disaster recovery, you should still have the relevant staff trained and certified on DR. Similar to Microsoft, Novell, Cisco and other training and certification, DR training and certification is becoming popular – even mandatory – in many organizations. Such training provides organizations with international best practices and recommendations, case studies and methods to implement DR and BC. Secondly, it helps organizations prevent reinventing the wheel.
