Re: And this is what you get
Hmm, very different from "if you can't afford for it to go down".
There's also still many ways that a system can go down, other than a single or even multiple server outages.
Also a backup will only restore to the a certain recovery point in a certain recovery time. May be fine for your file server but if you are dealing with real-time high volume databases then restoring from backup might be pointless - if that is your 'solution' to a system you can't afford to go down.
