Gemini annual disaster recovery test 2026

Every year we carry out a disaster recovery test on Gemini

As part of this exercise, we confirm that production Gemini services can be migrated to a secondary data centre location. This ensures that Gemini can continue to operate if we encounter a catastrophic failure with the primary data centre.

This year’s test will take place on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 April and the activities are scheduled as follows:

Failover from the primary to secondary site

• Saturday 18 April from 4am – 8am

Failback from the secondary to primary site

• Sunday 19 April from 4am – 8am
  
  

During the above windows Gemini will be unavailable. No contingency processes can be followed, as the system will be completely offline. More information is available below.
