Why the very first step was not to fail over Europe?

They did after two hours. After the first they assumed the generators would be back but then ran into the breaker issue which caused the full day delay.

My question too, although possibly it seemed as a greater risk first to fail over. BTW, is there any unexpected GDPR implication of that? Assuming that fail over means restoring US backups in EU.

iirc the GDPR prohibits storing EU data in non-EU servers, not vice-versa
