Are you capable of implementing an IT infrastructure where it is impossible for a user to lose mission critical data?
Impossible? Why is perfection the standard? At a minimum she could have bought a $50 external drive at Best Buy, used the back-up software included in the OS, and the probability of this outcome occurring drops substantially.
