That was my thought. Heck, it happened to me once.
Combination of a SCSI cable knocked loose, but not visibly so, and the brand new sysamdin (me in both cases) knowing enough to head and tail the backup log file looking for 'start' and 'complete' but not knowing to look in the middle for what was actually happening.
Lost a month of data in the (thankfully) little used legacy ERP system we used. If the entire plant had still been using it it would have been a disaster, not an inconvenience.
