The real question is what was the backup method and why can they not simply retrieve the file from the backups.

That's been a big question of mine. With a $2.2B IT budget, you know that not only is every server being backed up, but they most likely have data replication going on at at least 2 different sites as part of their DR plan. What I would like to find is some doc that states how long they have to keep backups.
