If there aren't any non-computer-based flight records, what
happens if the power glitches or the computer goes on the fritz?

All facilities have their own back up power, usually a giant diesel
generator. We turn ours on anytime there is lightening in the area.
Although it is set up to come on automatically if the commercial power
goes out, that power bump will make all the computers reset, so we would
lose our data for about 30 seconds. There is more than one computer so
if one goes belly up it really doesn't matter.
