There are three types of backup sites, hot, warm and cold. A Hot site has all the capability of the main site, with all the hardware necessary. It requires no testing because the data is copied over in real time so that the information is redundant. A Warm site has some of the equipment installed, and may need to have work done in an emergency. A Cold site may have some of the equipment, but in a powered down state.
