We've had a production server crash before so I feel their pain. In our case our disaster recovery plan didn't go as well as it did during testing because, unfortunately, testing and needing it to take over an actual production load aren't the same. We weren't down a whole day but longer then we would have liked.
I feel sorry for their I.T. department, I know what it was like and it is not fun.
Last time DH's team did a disaster recovery exercise, the disaster part went great, the recovery...not so much! They ran it on Sat and environments were down until well into Mon. DH is a tester so he wasn't on that particular assignment but boy was it a mess.
