Hello Listservers!
 
I have a question that relates to process documentation for disaster
recovery.  Here's my scenario:
 
I have finally convinced someone in my company that changing the media
type of their records from paper to image is of benefit.  I am preparing
a process for the conversion and storage of the imaged records in EMC
Documentum.  I have permission to destroy said paper records after the
images have completed a QC process.  Documentum is backed up
incrementally every evening by IT, and there is a full backup once a
week.  Backup tapes are stored offsite in a secure facility.  I know
that if something bad happens and the Documentum server goes down that
IT can restore it, but I don't know the nitty gritty details of such a
process.  Now here's my question.  Do I need to sit down with IT
personnel & hash out an actual process for DR recovery of these records
should the worst happen?  Or can I rely on the fact that I know IT has
covered their bases with their own processes, and that is sufficient?
 
I would really appreciate hearing from any of you folks out  there who
have any comments, or suggestions, thanks!
