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
TBF a lot of the people I’ve been associated with in finance solutions, including one of my best friends of almost 2 decades who has been in the career path his entire adult life, do have complicated backup and restore systems with multiple layers of redundancy in place, but it can still fail especially when it isn’t frequently tested. A lot of businesses don’t know about problems in their backup system until they need it.

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.
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)
can I get a copy if I ask very nicely?
