If there is a crash on the disk holding the .mdf and the backups and log are on other drives, providing the database have been set up and backed up properly, the database can then be restored to the exact point of the crash with no loss of data.
If the log and/or backup is on the disk that crashed, that might not be possible.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
