What gets me is how people even do normal development without some sort of backup -- even an informal one.
Maybe I'm just lucky enough to work with relatively small datasets, but our QA server contains a complete copy of the production database and is at most a week old. So even if we didn't run any other backups (which we do), we could restore from that server and be back up and running within hours.
