My personal bet is that the U of C was doing backups, but was failing to check integrity on them. They probably learned that said backups were worthless and ended up left with little other choice.
That kind of happened to my employer. We had a backup plan, but it wasn't terribly robust. Shawmageddon took us down for a couple days. We were extremely fortunate that we didn't actually lose data, but it spurred a round of data integrity checking that revealed previously unknown failures. And a major project to improve our processes and systems.
