It didn't. They haven't lost any data, and their main building in the Richmond district was not damaged. None of their servers were lost (some lost power for a bit). What they did loose was their scanning building (or at least seriously damaged) and about $600K USD of damage (lots of scanning hardware) was done. They did loose some physical archive stuff that was in the process of being scanned.
They are looking for donations to rebuild. Again - no servers were damaged from the wayback machine. Christopher -- 李柯睿 Check my PGP key here: http://www.asgaard.org/cdl/cdl.asc Current vCard here: http://www.asgaard.org/cdl/cdl.vcf
