Each chapter of this book provides great insights, and useful practices, that will help you in creating a high fidelity SharePoint operation. In this chapter, we will look beyond the traditional admin role, and into the realm of the developer. The chapter's goal is to aid the developer in making things just a little bit easier for themselves and the administrator, particularly when a crisis occurs that requires our Disaster Recovery (DR) procedures to kick in.
This chapter explains how to implement a solid DR strategy for SharePoint custom development environments, and will cover the following topics:
Getting familiar with SharePoint development
Understanding the challenges
Steps for providing a recovery plan for customizations
