What I've seen happen more often than that: Server goes partly belly-up, queue fills up. Backup process runs, backing up the queue. (Optionally here: Reboot the server and lose the queue). Much later, the server hits another issue that requires recovering from backups - and they restore a truly ancient copy. I recently got a replay of a bunch of email messages from 2002. I admit not at all understanding what procedure failures (multiple) resulted in reloading a mail spool from 2002.
