ComputerWorld article. http://s0.tx.co.nz/at/tep34n279457j138688i194855f2c4680224a4t9s4z During testing a UPS failed to start a generator, then its batteries went flat and the systems it was feeding had to be restarted. Fire and Police were hit hard because they'd only very recently consolidated to a single database from three region-based ones, and hadn't had a DR drill (one was planned) so it was the first time they'd actually done a cut-over.
