Most of these stories and studies do not have the impact you really  
need.

If they really wanted to know they would hire a consultant.

If you want to know and you think that they might react if your  
numbers are dramatic enough, there is a simple program to accomplish  
this.

Go to Legal, HR and your department and pull three files from each  
department and hide them in your desk. Ask each department to go  
through what they would do if they needed these documents and they had  
to provide this information.  Tell them this is a DR drill or enlist  
Risk Management in the test. Ask them to clock their time and the  
amount of people involved.

In real time and your organization's rate per hour you will have the  
real cost of lost documents.  You can do it either with their  
knowledge or in a clandestine manner.  But in the end you will know  
what it costs.

But you are already riding Space Mountain so you may not be interested  
right now?  ;~)
