I'll add my own story:
We had a laptop walk out the front door two days ago, but thanks
to a backup server backup not one hour before the theft, my
boss (the victim in this case) had a working computer less
than 12 hours later with no loss of data (all 6 Gigs).
-way to go retrospect!
my mantra: backup early and often
