SQLContinuity Sim
SQLContinuitySIM is a simple, free, tool that lets DBAS easily log data to any database at regular, specified, intervals such that they can then easily verify disaster recovery and high availability solutions to ensure that they're providing requisite continuity or up-time during disasters.
