Huh.  Here in CR7, I think I've had two powercuts, total, in the 13
years I've lived here.

The only power-related problem I've had other than that was when my old
fridge died, and took the PSU for my G4 Cube with it.  Didn't lose any
data though.

If you haven't tested them, you don't have backups, you have hopes.
