objections

• objection: We already have backups. Why buy another recovery product?
  response: Evaluate whether existing backups also restore application dependencies, network and infrastructure, and whether the full recovery can be tested.
• objection: Will testing interrupt production or create unexpected cloud costs?
  response: Arpio describes noninvasive testing; scope a test and account for storage and transfer charges in the cloud environment.
