I imagine that they have offsite backups, they have to. The question is, how often do they take full backups off-site.... Once every quarter? Well shit, you just lost over a month of data.

I wonder what size DBs we are talking about here.

Unless it is in the PB range or their budgets are crap they should defintiely have regular off-site's.
