This stuff about EMP strikes has been going around for decades. It was one of 
the two results of the neutron bomb, the other being a radiation pulse.

Much of the damage from the electromagnetic pulse can be prevented by storing 
magnetic media in a metal box; a.k.a. a Faraday cage 
  Of course, you might have trouble 
finding something to read it with after a nuclear strike…

… and reading your databases will likely be the least of your worries after 
Armageddon…

I think that in event of a nuclear war, the last thing I would care about is 
keeping my computer data safe. Ok, maybe the second to last thing just ahead of 
making sure that the rose bushes don't get crisped.

Yes, I consider the threat to be real.  I back up to Amazon Singapore, which 
presumably the North Koreans will not attack.  And I put a backup hard drive in 
a special bag which works like a Faraday cage (available at 
http://techprotectbag.com ) which hopefully will protect it.

Interesting article. Surely there are other options to save our data.
