Wow why do I still get shocked when an IT Manager makes an EPICALLY bad decision? Like seriously..... I am still laughing after a call and it's been 2 hours
No backups?
They were deemed "not critical" so disabled.
I assume this means he disabled all of his computer networking, because it was not critical either? Of course I'm joking - as Scott would ask - How do you make that type of leap?
But at minimum, I'm sure you asked - so you're turning off all your DBs and your file servers because they aren't critical to your business either.
My question would be, if they're not critical to the business, let alone necessary, then why have them at all? There are levels of necessity, but that's determined based on risk and impact on the business and business needs. A file server could be very critical or minimally critical depending on how the business uses that file server and how long that can be without it before more serious consequences occur.

I see where you're going. But the likeliness that there is no long term data that has any value seems very unlikely.

Yup. Passed out in the basement for a good seven hours. Took a whole of five minutes for me to fall asleep. I had one half of one DuoLingo lesson to get through and I was out like a light.

Taking a mid-sleep break. Did seven hours, will probably do about five more. But need water, bathroom, open windows, inspect kids, catch up here, etc.

Got up between naps and posted to you people for a couple of hours. About to return to bed.

Missing Nicaragua....
