Doh! The company that runs
Doh! The company that runs the computer facilities for about half of the banks in Norway (EDB Fellesdata AS) was adding disks to their primary Hitachi storage array. Instead of initializing only the new disks, they initialized all of the disks -- they wiped out their entire data warehouse. I can't imaging having to restore that much data frombackup (they were adding 280 new disks, so who knows how many terabytes the existing array held). (from comp.risks)
