(For frequent listeners, I made a mistake with last week's episode. THIS is the episode I meant to publish last week. I know it has the same description. Sorry about that.)

This disaster recovery case study takes you inside a real DR scenario when a hurricane devastated an island's data center. Our guest shares his firsthand experience managing recovery efforts with limited resources, no mainland connection, and countless unexpected challenges. (This is the on-the-ground account of the story we told last week with "Harry Potter.")

Listen as we explore how basic DR assumptions fell apart, from authentication dependencies to satellite communication limits. Learn why sleeping on air mattresses and eating chicken and rice became part of this disaster recovery case study, and discover critical lessons about DR planning, testing, and documentation that could save your organization. This episode reveals the reality of disaster recovery when everything - including trees - gets stripped away.
