That was a weeks worth of data.

The OS can't be held responsible for that, all systems can crash or hardware
go bad.

That Police department's IT section is responsible for the data loss, unless
they have proceedures in place that the operators were too lazy to use.
(Sorry, lazy is nearly always the reason for backups being missing).

What ever the case, MS can't be responsible for this one, the data should
have been on the mainframe and on the tapes by then.
