Pixar had a systems failure and found their unverified backups weren't working, so they lost a year's work - basically all of Toy Story.
One of their animators had a copy at home (which she had because she was working from home while pregnant).
They went to her house and hauled the entire system back to the office and recovered the work.
Ta-da. An entire video in 3 sentences.
