Re: Disaster Recover/Business ContinuityUpdates

*	Do you have a Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity 
plan already written? 

Yes, and we have an "Effective Practice" posted with 
Educause.  We are happy to share our experiences with a 
building fire (in the datacenter building), fire clean-up, 
environmental contamination, faulty discharge of Halon, ice-
storm power outage, an electrical power surge that crashed 
the datacenter, the East Coast power outage and a hack.  It 
is an ongoing party.

Possibly, although very limited.

Yes, we think a rack would do it.
