Sumario:This article discusses failures in the design, implementation, and testing of backup and recovery facilities. The article gives many examples of localized failures of seemingly parallel power, and discusses the problems that arise when constructive uses of operational redundancy fail to fulfill their intended purposes. The author asserts that backup and recovery processes must be carefully integrated with their associated systems, with adequate quality control, periodic reverification, and maintenance of compatibility.
