To follow this up from a PostgreSQL company :).

Be plaintative. Tell him that any loss of data should have been covered
by backups and that such losses of data typically happen either by user
error or hardware failure.

For customer service reasons, offer him 1 hour of diagnostics for free
(assuming this is a good customer). Then you can tell him what your
findings are.

If the customer is difficult after this offering I would suggest firing
the customer.

Sincerely,
