The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been without access to years' worth of lessons-learned data for nine months, unable to recover access to it since a server failure in May 2010... While the data was recovered by November 2010, the software needed to read it hasn't been restored, meaning that FEMA personnel aren't able to access certain historical data stretching back to 2004, before Hurricane Katrina, California wildfires, and other major recent disasters.
I wonder what sort of disaster-recovery plan they had for their IT systems.
