Unless "back up our data" is part of the hosting contract, the host is off the hook.
There's up to two fools here:
- If the hosting company does not have a disclaimer in their contract that the data backup onus is not on them, then they deserve to be sued for all they got.
- The TV producer should keep their own backup. Trusting a third party blindly with your most precious data is simply stupid, and unworthy of anyone involved with IT in this day and age. I would back up data even if the host did have a contractual obligation to back up my data. Shit happens, it's not a matter of "if", but of "when".
