In general computing you will want to have your production data center with all your production servers and your remote site data center functioning as your production fix / test / development / disaster recovery data center. Wise processing practice is to perform monthly production fix refreshes from your production backups. This type of activity validates the integrity of your production backups along with your restoration process and assists in being SOX compliant.
