Fictional study / Digital collections

Morrow Archive

Testing whether the recovery record tells the whole story.

The operating context

A fictional digital archive depends on recovering selected collections after a service interruption. A completed backup job is available, but does not show whether a collection can be restored and used.

The review boundary

A defined collection, a nominated restore environment and one agreed recovery exercise. Other collections and live incident response are outside this example.

Original evidence model

Trace the handovers.

  1. Collection boundary

    Name the selected material and dependencies.

  2. Recovery exercise

    Run the agreed restore procedure.

  3. Usability check

    Check the recovered material with its owner.

  4. Review decision

    Record limitations and the next test.

Illustrative process specific to Morrow Archive. Not a prescribed framework or an actual project result.
