[Year 12 IT Apps] U4O2 KK09 (for 2011) - disaster recovery

[Mark KELLY]

Hi all.  Having seen a couple of (what I consider) dodgy questions about
data disaster recovery plans, I am a little concerned about key knowledge
dotpoint 9 of U4O2 next year: "disaster recovery strategies and the testing
of these strategies".  It's not significantly improved from the existing
U4O2 KK05 which also refers to 'disaster recovery strategies'.

The dodgy questions were discussing things like rebuilding after fires,
sweeping up the mess etc.  In other words, disasters rather than *data
*disasters,
which is our territory.

I hope VCAA examiners and SAC writers read the dotpoint as "*data* disaster
recovery strategies and the testing of these strategies" to avoid irrelevant
non-ICT questions and student responses.

My cow died on this day two years ago.  I know because I noted it in my
dairy.
