you also have to take into consideration what kind of backs are being taken. disk to tape, disk to disk, so on so forth. Is it being compressed and being sent offsite...the whole reason for backup is for disaster recovery. If you are getting backups, but have no idea or way to recover it in a timely fashion. It is basically worthless. Backups are not really created for harddrive failure. There is no way you should have your data on a server that doesnt have raid with hot swaping drives. Also. If your data has any importance to you. You should have it on shared storage. Not on local disk. Local disk is for operating systems. I can go much deeper into disaster recovery and best practices on server setups. It seems it is not taken seriously in adult for the most part though.
