Having been in on a couple of recovery actions due to major files getting fouled up, I can believe that things could take up to a week. I also remember the Royal Bank of Canada being fouled up for about 3 days with everybody's bank accounts being only sometimes accessible. I was afflicted by this one. There also are some fiascos that real-time backup won't guard against.
