There was something I read in the past year about the conflict between recovery and forensics - preserving the evidence for an investigation prevents a quick and smooth recovery, and conversely quickly recovering from a problem destroys evidence. So real world systems that have to keep working either need a complete backup system (ridiculously expensive) or they need to stay down until the investigation is completed (which could be even worse, especially if a gov't agency with a stronger sense of CYA than urgency is doing it). Investigating airplane crashes doesn't have this problem, since the plane isn't going anywhere. I've spent the last ten minutes googling trying to find the source and can't.
