>What kind of computer system backups will survive an EMP?

Those that are shielded with an EMP shield. Anything in Iron Mountain would be fine.

My brother works for a company that builds EMP-proof rooms, used mainly to house medical imaging systems (CAT & PET scanners), and also used to provide "bug-proof" rooms for the government.

He says that they have seen a considerable increase in interest from companies looking to put their computer centers in EMP-proof rooms.

I don't know if they know something we don't, but apparently more and more of them are taking this threat seriously.
