That would be pretty scary to do, we are living in a Soviet era block apartment.

Why do companies pay so much for IT staff, but refuse to pay anything to have running systems or backups?

Snapshots are not backups. They're "moment in time" captures of the server that allows rollback in case a patch or an upgrade goes wrong. If the vm dies due to disk corruption or a host failure, and your "backups" are nothing more than snapshots, you're out of luck. More, keeping snapshots around longer than necessary burns disk space and will slow performance over time. The longer the snapshot history, the more disk space you'll use and the worse performance will get.
I love statements like this that completely ignore the fact that there is more than one type of snapshot. COW is different from AOW/ROW. Snapshots can be backups if you export them. And this seems to ignore the fact you can do file level restores from snapshots.
