After a successful failover to a warm site, a transit agency has no written criteria for when to fail back to the primary facility. What planning gap does this reveal?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Failover gets you out of the fire; failback gets you home without creating a second mess. If nobody wrote the “when do we go back?” rules, teams argue while both sites stay half-live. Plan the return trip as carefully as the escape.
Full Explanation
Complete disaster recovery planning addresses both activation and restoration of normal operations. Without failback criteria—such as primary stability checks, data synchronization status, and authority to stand down—organizations risk prolonged dual-site operation, inconsistent cutovers, or premature return. Documented return-to-normal steps close that loop.
