Larry and Devaki have similar roles as operations managers of two neighboring organizations. As part of their disaster recovery plan, Larry and Devaki have a cooperative agreement to rely on each other’s sites in the case of a disaster. Each site functions as a warm site should disaster strike the other organization. Unfortunately, when a car hit a nearby utility pole, power at both sites was interrupted. What did Larry and Devaki wrongly assume?
- A cooperative agreement did not specify a time limit for resuming operations.
- Both sites would have sufficient capacity to handle the failover.
- Disasters could not occur at both sites at the same time.
- Using a hot site would be too expensive.
Disasters could not occur at both sites at the same time

* Periodic restoration of computers helps correct memory errors that naturally creep into computers.
