          It's not really that bad, actually more like four a day. Still, feels insane.

                  If they are never patching their Windows servers... I can only imagine how often those same people are patching their Linux servers...

                      We mentioned that in the one thread... Tim and I were both like "if you aren't patching, we assume you aren't backing up either."

                        SAme people will often have the "I cant afford to virtualize" statements. So no snaps before they do major patches.

                          One of the reasons I left out for why I didn't mention checkpoints, is because I doubted he was virtualizing. But I guess he was... at least one thing was done right.

                            I'm mildly surprised.

                              I do suppose it's possible to own an Lamborghini without an engine.

                                          I liken it to being able to replace a single chain link in the entire chain. Sure the bike is broken either way, but this single chain link is easily replaced.

                                          Why he wants a chain that's a mile long I have no clue, but hey, more power to him.
