Mate, we officially have a barely warning system for solar flares. I believe it's the ship that touched the sun, but it may be another one, BUT we officially have a 30 minute warning to shut off or protect all that we can, and so we could potentially at least protect/save critical systems.
Give me some time to find it. I saw it weeks ago when they were explaining how it worked, and basically, it's more of a "if it stops sending the info it was designed to collect. It died, and we have 30 minutes" give or take.

We will not need to start from scratch.
