If I do have a disaster, I plan on trying to recover from it.

You've been testing it regularly, right?
At least once every twenty years
Make it every twenty-one years this Thursday
Right on schedule
Gonna take it out to drink?
Is that book 1024 pages of Panic is progressively larger fonts?
Current disaster recovery plan:
Step 1: cry

Inverse Murphy's Law dictates that if your disaster recovery plan is top notch, tested, rehearsed, refined, and you flip to the alternate site on a schedule then you'll never ever need it for real.
We definitely have a DR plan at work that includes steps that must be performed at least one hour prior to the disaster occurring. Its quite a joke.
All disasters must be scheduled ahead of time and receive approval in the disaster pre-approval process. Failure to do so prior to disaster means this is an unauthorized disaster, and the disaster recovery committee is not responsible for ad hoc incidents caused by improper planning
