They don't need backup if they have RAID!

And you don't need RAID if you just store the file twice on the same disk!

I'm kinda enjoying watching the dev manager squirm over some lost data... that was on an old tower server, a server that has had 2 bad drives (out of a 6 drive RAID10) for quite a while. All concerned parties were informed of the drive issue, my boss said "screw it, we're not replacing those old drives". No worries, but again, people were informed about the issue and told to grab any pertinent data they might need. Fast forward to this week, I was instructed to P2V the machine since development "still needed it", even after migrating that workload to a VM. The C drive vhd worked fine. Creating the D drive one put the final death blow on the machine. I was able to grab a little of the data first, and luckily it had the DB backup we needed, but hopefully this will be an eye opener and will make it easier for me to get a backup solution.
Doubtful. In my experience no normal user ever has learned from mistakes like this and I mean ever

And you don't need RAID if you just store the file twice on the same disk!
And don't need to virtualize if they buy more servers!

Servers, they can just use desktops!

PI 3's are cheap... hook that up to some 10TB external drive. Instant enterprise SAN!

I can see this happening : only because I question everything my boss and everyone else do, on why they do it the way they do it...
