  This is a great reason to have discs backed up in digital form (in multiple orgs, not locations). Insurance covers the value lost, but not the content. Archive/Backup All The Things. Physical media archived away someone with no other copies? Not even once.

      In some cases, they've decided the digital backups are good enough and destroyed the irreplaceable originals. On purpose, not by accident.
