Our last DR test failed and the auditor wants evidence within 90 days
The annual DR test missed RTO by hours and the regulator has asked for evidence of a credible recovery posture within the quarter. Backup is patchy across workload tiers, replication is uneven, and the runbook has not been updated in two years.
Trigger — Failed DR test; regulator follow-up clock running.
Good outcome — Backup + Azure Site Recovery baseline live, RTO/RPO documented per tier, fresh runbook validated through a tabletop and a partial failover.
