In general computing you will want to have your production data center with
all your production servers and your remote site data center functioning as
your production fix / test / development / disaster recovery data center.
Wise processing practice is to perform monthly production fix refreshes from
your production backups.  This type of activity validates the integrity of
your production backups along with your restoration process and assists in
being SOX compliant.
