This. Times 1000. I would even go as far as to fire the CTO because if the data is your bread and butter, the you protect the data.
Protecting the data is called a disaster recovery (DR) plan in those big outdated companies that people like to make fun of.
The reason that these companies have a DR plan is to tell the CEO that 'when' (not 'if') all of the data goes away, (a) how long will it take to get it back and (b) how out-of-sync will this data be (2 minutes from freshness? 6 hours?).
