I am less surprised that google has multiple copies of everything in the world than I am that you were able to cut and paste the 'Ploob back to life. The new Google server farm 20 miles from here brought jobs to the area - air conditioning repair jobs. Their server farms don't need people as much as they need a steady supply of electricity and cold air. I haven't seen it, but I my imagination shows me 10,000 tiny racked PCs with not a keyboard or monitor in sight. That’s a pretty amazing story.

As you said, it is unbelievable to think Google has back-ups of everybody's stuff. In your case I'm glad they did.
