When using Azure Site Recovery, what is essential to ensure during a failover test with respect to data?

In the context of Azure Site Recovery, ensuring that all data needs to be processed during a failover test is critical for a seamless recovery process. During a failover test, the goal is to validate that your backup solution is functioning correctly and that all data is recoverable in the event of an actual disaster. Processing all data means that not only the recent changes, but also the entire data set, is available and can be accessed without issue.

This process simulates a real disaster scenario to confirm that when a failover occurs, applications can take over operations without data loss or corruption. It also allows you to check the configuration, applications, and systems to ensure that everything is operational. Properly processing all data encompasses aspects like testing data integrity and application performance during the failover, thus ensuring that both data and services can be restored successfully under real-world conditions.
