Answer / guest
Answer: C
Recovery managers should be rotated to ensure the experience
of the recovery plan is spread. Clients may be involved but
not necessarily in every case. Not all technical staff
should be involved in each test. Remote or offsite backup
should always be used.

so as to verify that the data is correct.
There is no need for client participation, nor require all
tech. staff and recovery managers. SQA can do this work at
