A large meteor would delete it just fine.

With distributed data centers it needs to be a quite sizable meteor though. The dinosaur killer asteroid may not be enough if your redundancy is on the other side of the globe.

Keep your backup tapes in a safe on the other side of the pond, as they say.

I once worked in a large Meteor codebase and I cannot comment[1].

1: I can, nothing catastrophic happened. Other than the Meteor codebase.
