Business Owner vs Business IT vs IT Supplier - disaster recovery fun#2

Few weeks ago, I shared a story about the impact of not having Disaster Recovery. And I mentioned that there will be a sequel to it. So, here it goes.... the saga shall continue....
 

Business Owner guy: <* Addressing VIP business users *> It is very unfortunate that we were badly hit by the quake. As it was an act of God, we have to accept the loses etc etc.... . Nevertheless, we have come out with a great disaster recovery plan to ensure business continuity in the event of disaster. This time, we WILL be ready to face it!

Information Security lad: <* This guy is surely a great politician.... I wonder how he saved his ass, survived and resurrected from that gigantic mess... Last I heard, he even got a promotion*>  

5 months later......

Business Owner guy: <* shouting over the phone *> What's happening? Why can't my customer access the application?

Business Owner vs Business IT vs IT Supplier - disaster recovery fun#1

This is another classic story that may raise a smile for some security pros out there....

Business Owner guy: <* shouting over the phone *> What's happening? Why can't my customer access the application?

Business IT bloke:  The whole IT Supplier's data center is currently down. It has something to do with the earthquake that happened 10 minutes ago. Seems like the data center was badly hit by the quake. I managed to get hold of the service manager and he has arranged an emergency meeting in 15 minutes to update us on the situation.

After 15mins, in the emergency meeting...

Business Owner guy: IT Supplier chap, I understand you have a lot to deal right now, but my application is business critical. When can you get it up again?I'm losing like 10K per minute here!
