"I don't know about you, but any where I've ever
worked, not running a backup before any major upgrade is a firing
offense. And, not just any firing, this is a "don't let your feet
touch the floor as the security cops run you out of the building"
crime.
"This isn't just a tech problem though. This is an
organizational problem. This is a case where firing them all, from
the top down, and letting unemployment sort them out is
appropriate. There is simply no way on Earth that Microsoft should
have tried this 'upgrade' without knowing that a backup was set,
checked, and ready-to-go."
