The other day Google totally messed up with disabled 150,000 accounts without any notice. Yikes! Apparently they are restoring these accounts and promise that most of the data will be recovered but it was a simple reminder that even the most “robust” apps out there still can fail due to human error.
There are a few ways to backup Gmail and one of the better ones has been taken down – anyone have any great suggestions?

Not personally effected but this isn’t the first time Google has had this happen either. http://techcrunch.com/2006/12/28/gmail-disaster-reports-of-mass-email-deletions/
I read somewhere that MS lost a ton of Hotmail emails in the past couple weeks but can’t find any real confirmation on that either.
