While I a great deal of fault would rely on the technician in charge of the operation, I would also put blame on the department as well for not checking their backup sources.

With something that mission-critical, why would you store the backup drive on the same computer? It should be stored to a network storage computer with backup as the sole intent.

Additionally, the tape drives should be checked periodically. That's common sense, especially when working with something so sensitive.
