1.7 petabytes and 850M files lost --- 1.7 petabytes and 850 million files were recovered

Given that the latter statement is from the article, how is the former "technically correct"?



Imagine an article "One web server lost and how we survived it" simply said "Our load balancer automatically removed that server from the pool and we let the other 15 web servers pick up the load. We didn't have to do anything." This is different from "Oh crap, we only had one web server and we absolutely had to do a lengthy recovery process to get it back online."
