I can't believe that they didn't have any backups. It's not hard to do. My operation is way smaller, and I have a cron script that runs once a week to dump the database, zip it, and then transfer it to a backup server. This is one the first things that I set up. It really should be the first thing any company with user-generated content to do.

  You'd have a backup strategy in place for your source control system, right? Even if it's just tarring it and scp'ing it somewhere in a cron job.
