A client has to be a little nuts to ever go for this nonsense. We've had enough news of late with power outages in Texas and workforce presence problems with the pandemic.
How about a REAL calamity, folks? - like an information outage due to satellite sabotage, solar flare, meteor/asteroid hit, etc.

Nothing like having your data (an integral part of your business?) at a PRIVATE DR site or having your own UPS in the basement or parking lot - as opposed to "the cloud" in some storage facility in some basement somewhere you don't know about... until it's too late.

This is a big nothing burger.
