Initial problem

Disaster recovery existed as an assumption, not a tested capability — no documented runbooks, no validated recovery time expectations, and no evidence that a real failure scenario would actually be recoverable within a timeframe the business could tolerate.

Scope

Engineering work

Disaster recovery and business continuity documentation was written from the ground up — covering what has to recover, in what order, and who owns each step, rather than relying on institutional knowledge that lives in one person's head.

Recovery procedures were then tested directly, not just reviewed on paper — validating that the documented process actually worked and surfacing the gaps that only show up when a recovery is attempted for real.

This work continued into an ongoing site-reliability engagement, treating operational resilience as a continuous responsibility rather than a document that gets written once and never revisited.

Deliverables

Validation

Recovery procedures were tested against realistic failure conditions, not assumed to work based on documentation alone — the distinction that separates disaster recovery documentation from disaster recovery capability.

Information intentionally withheld: client name, specific infrastructure details, exact recovery time figures, and internal system names. Technical substance is representative of the actual engagement; identifying specifics have been generalized.
