Tom:

I see stuff all the time where people have 5+ year old systems that have been converted, but they still keep the old boat anchor around so they can look at stuff - sometimes to say "The old system did this, make the new system do it!".

Between legal requirements and archival requirements, I don't think it is strange at all that someone might want to restore to 5 years ago. I think it is very strange that a major database vendor might not be able to with their primary restoration tool.
