A disaster recovery plan that has never been executed is a creative writing exercise. Resilience is not the document. Resilience is the rehearsal — the runbook that has actually been run, the failover that has actually been tested, the team that has done it under load and survived.
Theory is cheap. The first time you discover the backups were silently failing is during the restore you cannot afford to fail.
Schedule the drill. Run it. Let it surface the ugly truth before the ugly truth arrives uninvited.
