Why each option
Among BCDR testing methodologies, a tabletop exercise is the least intrusive as it involves only a discussion of the plan without activating any systems.
A walk-through involves a more detailed review of procedures, sometimes with physical inspection or mock execution, making it more intrusive than a tabletop.
A simulation involves activating some systems or processes in a controlled, non-production environment, which is more intrusive than a tabletop.
A tabletop exercise is a discussion-based training session where participants walk through the BCDR plan without deploying any actual resources or disrupting operations, making it the least intrusive method.
A full test involves activating and utilizing actual production or replica systems, often leading to significant resource usage and potential disruption, making it the most intrusive option.
