    Tricky one.

    I'm not involved in my companies DR implementation (although I'd be called upon for restores and Storage failover) so I kinda can't answer a lot of that.
    Amusingly, I know more about our customers DR than I do our own....

    Would my answers be any use to you?

    I cannot really answer your questionnaire with regards to the company I work for as just about everything in the company I work for is cloud based, we are mostly all remote workers and don't have an infrastructure that is appropriate to answer your questionnaire :(

    Done. I filled this in as one of my roles from last year as it's more relevant than my current situation. The answers are still true despite me not working there any more.

    Done for our small company with media and cloud-based DR solution. Hope it's helpful!

    Had a look, but I'm afraid as an Application Packager, I can't really be much help. If an application breaks, it can come around to me eventually, but nothing really in the context of the questions.

    Good luck though :)

    Completed, although your budgets and data amounts stop very low for an Enterprise level business.

    I wouldn't be able to do much with only 10TB and £50k!

    Answered. We're a managed service provider (they call us cloud providers these days of course). We have customers whose services have DR. We have our own DR, of sorts. So I've answered where I can for the data / services we're accountable for providing DR.

    Our smallest SAN is 12tb ... we've got a few :)

    I'll fill this in in a few days. I work in virtualisation, and we're currently testing our DR capability across sites ;)

    Enterprise support involves some big kit, but I have to jump through hoops (forms and authorization etc) to do anything interesting with it!
