This is a good time for everyone to reflect on what would happen if their host went up in a puff of smoke and take steps to ensure they have some redundancy in their operation at all mission critical levels.

Clearly I thought fully managed hosting with RAID's and an extra $100 a month to have the site backed up daily on-site was enough. Nobody expects the entire 1000-server wide network to be destroyed by hackers.
We also had an offsite backup locally but its only done monthly and the data is useless.
Hindsight is always 20/20
