Only a few users/logins and they were synched with sp_change_users_login (we use SQLAuth). They were added with sp_addlogin because our backup box was "appropriated" a couple months ago for another task. Had this been a more critical item for the company, we would have had it done quicker.
np, it was just a shock this am seeing the post. I understand your seeing the two events together. I'd actually written this about 12 hours before being told the company was failing.
The backups were not on tape. Actually they were, but only for the previous night. I ftp backups and logs every 15 minutes to our ftp site, so we recovered the most recent from there.
A total of 3 databases were recoved that night. I did msdb the next day.
