The DR drill was a success thanks to everyone that helped me out and gave
wonderful advice! I had a couple of small issues, but everything was very
easy and clear cut. Thank you for asking! : )

Hi Joni
How did your disaster recovery drill go?
Maybe you are recovering(getting rest)for couple of days.
