In the case of a hardware failure are all data saved with some kind of backup then restored and made available again?
Hi Jay, thanks a lot, this was really explaining and the correct answer to my question.
BTW I am a system administrator who in 2006 created a completely failsafe and redundant IT system for a hospital.
Thanks again

If you mean if you have hard drive failure then yes, you should be able to just log on and reinstall and it'll download everything again.
I think there was a misunderstanding: I want to understand if my data on Dropbox is protected in case there is a hardware problem on the Dropbox servers (NOT on my own hardware) that contain those data. In other words, if Dropbox systems are protected through backup and disaster recovery.
Thanks a lot

Thanks Megan for your reply, but the linked page only highlights "security" intended as protection against attacks or unwanted access. I don't see any reference to "safety" as protection against loss due to hardware failure such as failure of the disks containing the data. Often referred as "Disaster recovery". I would like to understand if the Dropbox infrastructure has this kind of safety.
Cheers
