How unfortunate that all of their softcopy backups were read/write and thus virus-vulnerable. If only there were a cheap, high-capacity, write-once data storage medium available! They could have copied their source to it and then put copies in one or more offsite locations. If it looked like a music CD, we could call it "CD-R".
