    We have critical customer data on servers that are not backed up. Our contracts specify liability if we lose that data within 6 months in the millions. Management won’t allocate funds for a backup strategy and hardware to store the data, but I keep rainy day copies on one old laptop and a prayer.

      Meanwhile my previous company had a warehouse dedicated to paper backups. We had to work together with a huge team to find and destroy everything older than 10 years (the max we are required to store)

      At the end the remaining documents could be stored in a single cabinet
