We had to jump through minor hoops on EC2 to recover a handful of servers. And once those were back online, there were some scheduled reports and similar things to get caught back up. The downstream impact could have been much worse, but we got somewhat lucky on the timing with our weekly processes.

Our poor network support guy had to go around the building and fix a couple dozen workstations. We're a "small shop, skeleton IT crew" type of place. So we were back to normal in less than a day.

I can't imagine what a nightmare it must have been for a "large shop, skeleton IT crew" type of place.
