In the early 1970's, there was a fire in the University of Toronto Computer Room (well before the protection(s) we have today). I had to endure, 20 years later, stories by my, then, VP, but previously the computer operations manager at UoT, about how he had thought to grab the poles/racks (or whatever) and strung them through the reels in the tape library, to rescue as many as he could. Due to poor/untested backup/dr procedures a lot of master's/PHD work was still lost. UoT has top-level procedures, today. When in doubt.
