    No disaster recovery plan? No offsite backups? Someone failed to applied the most basic principles that have existed for decades.

      That isn't recovery from AWS's point of view. If the customer has data in another region, thats great for them but AWS isn't really a part of that, AWS doesn't know which data is fungible in every case. Sure they have some data is replicated, what they can't recover is the data THEY do not replicate.
