Right, but if you have a CBU you are probably doing your own DR and not relying on a DR company like Sungard. It'll still probably get expensive, but at least you aren't reliant on the good will of some other company allowing you to keep using their hardware.

Typical contracts are for 30 and 90 days, some cultural variation by country. It comes down to cost and a bigger factor is often the DR test terms.
