I guess they weren’t paying quite enough to have offline backups? I believe financial institutions can keep stuff stored in caves (think records of all the mortgages a bank wants to be repaid for - data loss isn’t an option).

From the sounds of it, they did, since they were able to recover the data from elsewhere.
They just lost the data they kept and stored with Google.
