This is why we do nightly automatic backups on all sites. Whatever happens we can just restore to the previous night and you never lose more than a day of work. Backup plans and redundancy is a waste of money to management, accounting, and customers until they need it.

and with systems like Borgbackup, storing months worth of daily backups doesn't take up an excessive amount of disk space, especially if the files rarely change.
