@HonkHase ok... you are running an infrastructure that is so critical that you think you need to use such a tool but you don't have any backup or fallback solution to be able to go on working within 1 hour max?
@DoKo
what would your fallback solution look like for a company with 500+ desktop PCs not working?
@nichtsicher that depends what this company is doing. It is a not a question of how to replace a specific computer, it is a question of the whole system behind. Riscmanagement and so on. E.g. if you are a hospital and have to manage data and timeplans for patients a fallback for a non working database server would be a second server and / or a second, syncronized database server / system. So a fallback solution would be very individual but should be planed if the structure is really a critical.
@nichtsicher at the end it is the same discussion of risc management as with backups of data, but more generalized on system level. What i described is nothing new and should already described by the companies interal process documents
