    Now I’m wondering if they can recover this from a backup or archive OR if that’s going to be an awkward call to their insurance company.

      Well, if you bothered reading into the second paragraph, you’d have more info:

      UniSuper had a backup account with another cloud provider, and service was restored May 2.

      So Google doesn’t keep (unpaid) backups for it’s clients, and the ones UniSuper paid for were deleted along with everything else.

      Or a panicked call from their insurance company. “You have a backup, right???”

      It was restored a week ago. All it did was prevent people from logging into their accounts for a few days.

        Only because they restored from a separate backup with a different provider, not Google restoring a backup.

      They’re already back online, and they managed to do it without missing a pension payment.

      From the article, “UniSuper had a backup account with another cloud provider, and service was restored May 2.”
