In Jan 2009 the ma.gnolia website lost all of their user data due to a corrupted database. In the following video they share about the loss, and give some useful pointers about doing backup properly.
Have a backup system in place
Diagnose problems early
Backup system shouldn't rely on the original database
Test your backup system
Figure out a good version backup system
If you are a small start-up, don't do your own IT > cloud computing
Always pay attention to infrastructure
RAID won't help software corruption
Ma.gnolia projected an image of a big company, but it was a mistake to hide the truth
Openness is important
