1.How confident are you that your current HA/DR solutions would meet business expectations during an actual disruption?

Very confident — We’ve successfully tested under realistic conditions

Somewhat confident — We believe they would work but lack full validation

Low confidence — Known gaps or uncertainties exist

Not confident — We have significant concerns about recovery readiness

2.How often does your organization test its backup and recovery process end-to-end (including application restoration)?

Quarterly or more frequently — Fully validated with realistic scenarios

Annually — Tested, but not always comprehensive

Infrequently — Partial or ad hoc testing only

Never — We rely on backups but haven’t validated full recovery

3.In the event of a failure, how much data loss would your business likely experience?

Near zero — Real-time or continuous replication

Minutes to hours — Frequent backups or journaling in place

Several hours to a day — Periodic backups

More than a day — Limited or manual backup processes

4.Following a system failure, how long would it take your team to restore your most critical IBM i applications to an operational state?

Under 4 hours — We've validated this

4–24 hours — Estimated but untested

1–3 days — We'd be in crisis mode

We honestly don't know — We've never tested a full restore

5.How heavy is the workload for your team to operate, manage, upgrade, patch and secure your backup environment?

No issue — Team has sufficient time and resources

Manageable — We get the critical tasks done but maintenance competes for time with other IT projects

Strained — We’re falling behind on non-urgent tasks and concerned about the growing risk that creates

Overwhelmed — Day-to-day operations consume all our capacity
