There are few large airliners with any sort of back up system to cope with total hyd failure. The notable exception is the B737 which has manual ailerons and elevators and a standby hyd rudder. But that is because it hasn't changed much since the B737-100! Before the A380, the last aircraft I know with independent hyd actuators was the VC10.
