You selected a cloud service provider to backup the server that hosts the CRM platform. The cloud provider has a reputation for providing secure storage and can easily provide cloud$-$based access to the data and services on the server if the main server becomes unavailable, such as during a security breach.

By providing consistent, reliable access to the CRM platform and data, sales and customer service staff can always communicate with customers and vendors, and will be able to alert them of any delays in delivery of goods or invoices.

Now that your system is backed up$,$ Emmett asks you to conduct a disaster recovery $($DR$)$ test to ensure that the backup will suffice if another security issue occurs.
