Yeah, it seems really unlikely that a team of scientists capable enough to accomplish this would be so incompetent they wouldn't have like a cloud save or a physical backup at another site, especially weeks into the war with Iran, not because they'd be super tech savvy but because this is just operational common sense, which is sort of important for doing effective research.
To be fair, people who do great research aren't exactly famous for having operational common sense. (But that's why you have administrative staff.)
Or be smart enough they could redo the work assuming they weren't all in the building at the same time
