I've been involved with two major incidents where a backup regime as 
previously described has saved the day.

The first was when a windows virus got inside the corporate network of a 
  well known company and hosed the exchange server cluster.

The second was when an electrical fault started a fire in a rack.  The 
fire was extinguished quickly enough, but not before terminally damaging 
  most of the kit.

In the first instance, the exchange server was back in action the 
following day.  In the second instance we had a skeleton production 
setup back online in under 6 hours.
