The drill was deigned to test the effectiveness of the disaster backup system of the core business system of the Industrial Bank. The expected goals and tasks were successfully achieved and completed during the smooth and highly efficient drill.
The drill involved activating the city-wide disaster backup system amidst a simulated failure of the host and storage of the core business system located at the computer room of IB headquarters. Relevant departments at headquarters and 37 branches of the Industrial Bank participated in the drill.
