No offense to anyone intended, but to me the title of this editorial was misleading. Disaster Recovery is a concept bigger than just having proper backup/recovery processes in place to handle mistakes or simple server or cluster failures.True, but if people don't even have backups, what's the chance that they have anything?
Absolutely true. That said - when the backups are stored on top of the server they back up and you have a server overheat.... (Inject your own disaster scenario here)
Once you get past the first AND second doors, you really are talking about a reasonably small amount of groups. Pretty scary actually.

Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?
