Here lies
The file server. Backed up nightly for six years. Nobody ever restored from it.
Nobody ever lost that game at the river. They lost it in the general store, in the first ten minutes, buying the interesting things instead of the boring ones. Backup works the same way, and the store is open right now.
Take whatever you want. None of it is expensive and none of it is interesting, which is the entire reason it does not get done.
Protects against: The fire, the flood, and the pipe that bursts in the room above the server.
Protects against: Discovering on the worst day of the year that the copy was of the wrong thing.
Protects against: Ransomware that encrypts the backup along with everything else, because it sat on the same network behind the same password.
Protects against: The first hour going on deciding who does what, while the phone rings.
Protects against: A rebuild that depends on one person, who is on a plane.
Protects against: Everybody waiting on a hardware delivery, being paid, doing nothing.
The trail ahead
You have set out with an empty wagon. A great many businesses genuinely are here, and it is not carelessness: nothing on that list ever announces itself as this week's priority.
Not what the software reports. What is in the copy, how old it is, and what has quietly been left out of it.
A real restore, on an ordinary Tuesday, while finding out the answer still costs nothing.
You get the list, ranked, with what each one costs to fix. Closing them with us is one option and not the only one.
