The problem, as I see it, with someone having an 'oops' near the archive is that any reasonable system has backups (the old write up pointed out that several people had access to material that could actually backup the archive), and as such an 'oops' would not only be supremely ineffective but actually the worst thing to happen.
It is in all probability an act of war to have such an 'oops'. The counter-strike is at the very least the original response (a rather embarrassing release of documentation) through Interdiction (which would include seizing all Space-based assets of said nation, which when you think about it is more damaging than anything else I mention), to actual military force.
In this case M.A.D. works for everybody*.
In fact, BEING such a backup is useful to many groups. I'm sure merely asking for a backup of day/month/year from the archive due to 'unfortunate circumstance with tape storage' (if said askee can prove said accident) will be very useful.
*Not as applicable as implied, given that the Fen don't loose as much in the event as a 'Daneside power doing such a thing.
