This should realistically be part of every company's disaster recovery/business continuity plan.
Bro I wouldn't trust most companies not to store their only copy of
super_duper_important_financial_data_2024.xlsxon an old AliExpress thumb drive attached to the CFO's laptop in a coffee shop while he's taking a shit.If your company has an actual DRP for if your datacenter catches fire or your cloud provider disappears, you are already doing better than 98 % of your competitors, and these aren't far-fetched disaster scenarios. Maintaining an entire separate pen-and-paper shadow process, training people for it? That's orders of magnitude more expensive than the simplest of DRPs most companies already don't have.
Friendly wave to all the companies currently paying millions a year extra to Broadcom/VMWare because their tools and processes are too rigid to use with literally any other hypervisor when realistically all their needs could be covered by the free tier of ProxMox and/or OpenStack.
offline computers would probably be a better idea, at least then it can be transferred easily and won't rip and tear.
