Insurance Movement *There is a slight movement in the insurance industry for both home-owners and renters insurance where they have been covering the cost of data recovery. It could be called "loss of intellectual property" by them and would probably be in the section under valuable records and documents. Another section to look over would be in the property/casualty coverage. If they have blanket coverage, this could include data loss along with the property damage.
For some people it is worth pursuing - nothing ventured, nothing gained. Others are not willing to touch their insurance company over concerns their rates will go up. This is certainly a very personal decision on a case-by-case basis.
For business insurance the terminology used would be "business critical". Basically, the business/company can't move forward without getting their data back.

LOST! Crucial Data from Air Force Base
Dean Johnson, systems administrator for The Civil Engineering Squadron at Shaw AFB in South Carolina, keeps computers for 350 users running smoothly. Except when a simple backup procedure failed, it jeopardized access to every file on the squad’s 12-drive RAID server.
Johnson initially believed he could solve the problem himself, but when the system controller failed too, he stopped his recovery efforts. “I knew that if I fired up a new controller and it started a new array, I could kiss my data goodbye.”
New backups had replaced older ones, and three-quarters of the new files were not backed up at all. At risk were: vital training data and flight records that, if lost, would require students to repeat their training, along with archives for the base housing office—information mandated by Congress to be kept in perpetuity.
Johnson described his system to DriveSavers engineers as a RAID 5 array, which would have allowed it to be rebuilt using data stored on a spare drive. However, after our RAID Enterprise Engineering team analyzed the drives, they discovered the configuration was actually a RAID 0 with data striped across all 12 drives. This presented a more difficult challenge because the drives now were mixed up in an unknown order and not how they had been physically arranged in Johnson’s original setup.
When DriveSavers engineers finally unraveled the brainteaser, they recovered a full 45GBs of the most-wanted data. “The value of the recovered data far exceeded the cost of recovery,” said Johnson.
