From what I can gather his database is hosted by his isp, so it's not his drive failing, he has to upload his backup to his isp, imagine how long that would take!
Isp's generally only have one backup, so if their server crashes, backup and real data gone, they're not going to fish around in old drives to reupload it, because it's of no consequence to them.
This is another reason I will not put anything on the Cloud, and use a raid configuration server at home. If it crashes, hot swap a drive, if it's corrupted, restore from an image file.
Many major worldwide companies are very sorry they ever heard of the Cloud, including Amazon.com. All my previous companies went offsite to the Cloud and they regularly ring me for help. Sorry, can't help them!
