One thing I didn't mention (and wasn't discussed in the article linked)... the site owner said in his blog that he immediately sent the discs to drivesavers, which is one of the better data recovery people, and they were the ones that determined the data could not be recovered.

Given that it is (theoretically at least) possible to recover data even after the drive has been overwritten, I have to assume that either it was too expensive, or not practical, or Drivesavers wasn't equipped with that technology.

All of the suggestions in this thread are good ones. I would trust Raymor's solutions... he's never steered us wrong... and for us, we rely on NatNet's backups but also keep most everything backed up locally on one of our RAID-5 arrays here... and the arrays themselves are backed up onto SDLT.
