The big win of this book is that there should be no surprises for either the business or IT, when the DR plan does not or does work. In short, plan for the best and be prepared for the worst.
In this chapter, you have been introduced to some concepts and ideas of how to apply the knowledge gained from this book with your DR initiative.
As ever, we hope that you will be as impressed as we are with Microsoft's SharePoint 2013 backup and restore procedures, and understand the challenges, pitfalls, and opportunities of deploying and managing a DR plan. More than that, we hope that you have enjoyed not just this chapter, but also the book, and that it has helped you further understand SharePoint from a DR standpoint.
