The average time for D/R recoverability on a squatty box is measured in
days....not hours.

I concur. At our installation , the SAP system which handles a lot of
the personnel and timekeeping data of 20,000 users suffered a 'bit' of
corruption.
The piddling amount of data would have been rolled back - correctly and
reliably - on mainframe DB2 in hours, IF it ever would have developed
the problem in the first place, which I seriously doubt.
However, it runs on MS-SQL server on PC servers, and the data recovery
took two *days*.
