A recent attack on DistributeIT - has left that company reeling after they announced that they had also lost backups of many (possible in the thousands) sites in the attack.
I find it hard to understand how a company can lose tape backups which I would expect any webhosting company to provide. However I have also lost a site from different hosting company in differing circumstances, where they stated they only backed up a weeks worth of history.
This should be a firm reminder to always take care of your own files (at least in backup form) and not rely on others servers or cloud environments as the pin may be pulled by either negligence or maliciousness.
