No. Files stored on a hard drive are just fine without power. Just like all the files on your computer survive while your computer is turned off, the same would be true of the files that make up the Internet,
Would we lose some information? Yes would there be some server that would not recover from a power loss? Yes. Would it take a few days (or weeks) to get everything fully functional again? Yes. Would we lose everything? No. In fact I would be surprised if the "loses" exceeded 2 or 3% of the Internet. And most of those would be small host with no backups. |
