I don’t buy it. Extreme solar storms may mess up the power grid by inducing imbalances which foul up the HV transformers, but they won’t erase all data in all backup locations, nor will they reach EMP levels and wreck all electronics.

The sign on my metal shop building with metal doors is "Faraday's Cage. Heisenberg may or may not have stayed here"

I'm betting most of the stuff in my shop (not attached to the grid) will be just fine, even in the case of a nuke induced EMP.

Another one like the one that happened during the neolithic or early bronze age would pretty much wreck all electronics. It made the Carrington Event look like an ordinary solar flare.
