One of the biggest mistakes that you can make is to choose a colocation site that is too close to your production site. It’s way too easy for a power grid failure to knock out both your primary and your colocation site if both sites are located in the same metropolitan area. (It happens!) But the challenge of in-house DR is that the technical team responsible for bringing your DR site online will need access to that site. This means that the approach and technology used to deliver a disaster recovery solution must be capable of remote activation.

But creating an effective disaster recovery solution is a complex project and there are several unplanned costs and other hidden hazards associated with it. I’ll identify some of these hidden hazards over the next few weeks.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/hidden-hazards-san-san-replication/) [04 May 2012 — 1 min read ![Image 4: Rachel Dines is My Hero](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/8d171c9d5dce1ca04801e22dc732de75.png) Recovery-in-a-Cave Just got done reading the funniest white paper ever, from our friends at Iron Mountain.

In order to achieve a working and consistent application, the various servers that make up the entire application stack may need to be in a quiescent state across multiple servers, a term referred to as “cross-server application quiescence”. As an example, in a document management system where the database server and a file server are both present, it is often necessary for the database and file server to be recovered from virtually the same moment in time. In other cases, it may be better for the file server to have a more recent copy of the data than the database server but never the other way around. In the process of working with our customers, nScaled has experience working with many different types of multi-tier applications.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/protecting-multi-tier-applications-part-ii/) [03 February 2012 — 2 min read ![Image 10: Protecting Multi-tier Applications](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/74dd033305077b8ad219667201379601.png) Protecting Multi-tier Applications Our crack Services team has written a new technical solution brief about the pitfalls of doing DR for multi-tier applications. Seeing as how most apps these days are multi-tier, and those apps are usually the most critical to a business, figuring out how to backup or failover is paramount.
