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.
They're going to get a mention in standup, and maybe an @ in the slack incident channel. They won't know because they're passed out from being awake for the past three days.
Friendly reminder to every CEO that this could have been a situation where a disgruntled employee accidentally fucks up the off site backup too.
Time to update my off site cold backup(private)
