Claim:
1. A method comprising: replicating a complex asset from a first site of a distributed information processing system to a second site of the distributed information processing system, wherein the replicating creates a first replica of the complex asset at the second site; configuring the replicated complex asset at a first time in an active operational state but in a disconnected communicative state at the second site of the distributed information processing system; configuring the replicated complex asset at a second time in a connected communicative state at the second site of the distributed information processing system to facilitate recovery at the second site from a failure in the complex asset at the first site; replicating a second replica of the complex asset from the first site of the distributed information processing system to the second site of the distributed information processing system, wherein the second replica of the complex asset includes: (i) a snapshot of a first portion of the second replica of the complex asset and (ii) a second portion of the second replica of the complex asset; configuring the second replicated complex asset at a third time in the active operational state but in the disconnected communicative state at the second site of the distributed information processing system; and recovering the second replica of the complex asset at the second site according to the snapshot of the first portion of the second replica of the complex asset and the second portion of the second replica of the complex asset.
