I've done tons of disaster recovery, and no one ever called it ACID. It's never come up. The only time the type of discussion specific to the terms of ACID comes up is with other database administrators.

Just my experience, perhaps I live in another world.

I think this is partially what I'm referring to. I use these terms in conversation with others when designing systems because they are useful in describing very specific properties of databases.
