Re: Perfect opportunity to test the Disaster Recovery plan

Of course there was a disaster recovery plan. It was even detailed in the article.

“Hurry!” JF exhorted, before calling everyone else in the business who could possibly help, such as folks on the application, sysadmin, network admin, and DBA teams. The business hadn't bothered to have any of them on-call, because with just a one percent chance of failure why did it need to bother?

Perhaps, in afterthought, it was not a particularly _good_ disaster recovery plan, but that word didn't appear anywhere in the requirements document.
