Holy fuck whoever was in charge of setting up that disaster recovery needs a million dollar bonus. I get that they're managing $80B and this should all be standard but people usually don't listen to IT and take DR seriously. And even if you do set it up, are you going back to check that your backups are functioning properly and have alarms for when it messes up

Absolutely.

But something tells me they will at most get a recognition award printed from MSWord and a pizza party day at their local office.
