Several of my buds that work for bigger companies that have quarterly

nuclear attack.

I've worked at similar places.
I've also seen the "drill" look good but the entire thing fail
in practice. In one case, the backup software lied about
having written the files in the log files. In another, a few
sysadmins did not even begin to grasp their own system's
file protections. In another, what to back up had to be manually
added to the list .... but nobody was updating it & there was
no plan at all.
Then someone forgot to turn ON the new UPS system .... g.
