Typical! Have they not heard of back up. No reputable IT company would allow their clients not to have a back up in place, and if they did not then they would be badgered into getting one in place.
As for the comment "He said consumers can protect themselves by ensuring that valuable files are adequately backed up." This sort of defeats having 'online' email facilities.
Personally I never recommend services like hotmail to any user, re3commending using a client like OE and holding emails on their own PC, with of course a back up in place.
