Did you know that the human side of SQL Server high availability and disaster recovery is just as important as the technical side? Most HADR discussions are usually in terms of features, tools, and technical best practices. When was the last time you looked in a mirror and said "are you ready"?

This session will flip the conversation in reverse and ask some tough questions. Do you "know" your systems so well you know all the pieces needed to get that server up from scratch if something serious were to fail? When was the last time you practiced an advanced data recovery? What about all of the systems actually connecting to the data?

This session will dive into the detail behind the technicalities and will make you rethink your HADR strategy. You'll leave with practical insights into preparedness, resilience, and confidence in your HADR strategy.
