What Customers Are Saying About More Group's LiveFire DR Program

"Since 2000, our world has seen dramatic changes that have caused an evolution in business continuity thinking. It used to be that recovery-minded organizations focused on preventing and avoiding disasters. Today, it seems inevitable that nearly everyone will be faced with unexpected "bumps" in the terrain from time to time. The focus is changing from avoidance of threat to "landing on your feet" in spite of it."

"The key to fast recovery is to have a business continuity plan in place and to test it regularly, which is what LiveFire DR is all about. Taking your backup tapes off-site to More Group's facility and building your backup host server ensures the availability and integrity of your data. At the end of the exercise, you have an up-to-date recovery document from More Group which will prove to be invaluable in the future."
-Anwer Adil, Columbia University School of Law


"LiveFire turned a seemingly daunting task into a 'stroll though the park.' The technical expertise of the More Group staff was able to make the process painless and very simple to understand"
-Walter Duarte, FujiFilm Medical Systems


"I was impressed with the quiet confidence, indeed the insouciance, with which the LiveFire exercise was accomplished. From the documentation presented, and the many cautions and advises I received, it was clear that a good many of these "LiveFire" exercises had been completed and that I was the beneficiary of a great deal of experience gained by their performance."
-George Adamo, Waterbury Hospital
