This very same thing happened to me last year when I had a hard drive fail.
Here is what you need to do...
1.) Buy a new machine with a IDE Raid card, tape backup, and a high quality UPS. Set the machine up with RAID 5.
2.) Put all your company's data on the new machine and force people to access all info over the network.
3.) Run a tape backup every night.
Assuming your company is relatively small, the server will be pretty inexpensive compared to the information you've already lost.
You're biggest challenge will be to enforce the use of the network drive. Tell everyone they will be fired if company information is found on their local hard drives.
