Probably not as bad as some of the other examples here, but the company I currently work for has its 10tb shared drives backing up to a server that’s right next to it in the same cabinet. Those two servers, plus all of the networking hardware and a variety of ancillary devices are all plugged in to one socket via a bunch of extension cords.

Yes, the boss has been told to get it sorted, but he’s the kind of older guy who doesn’t give a shit.

Happened to us, they put the backups on a different device, away from the servers, but still in the same premise. Cryptolocker locked everything on the network, including the backups. No off-site backups.

Yeah, exactly that.

So I back up my own shit on my own external drive, just in case.
