This wouldn't have been an issue if the organization bought a $1,000 NAS and populated it with a few hard drives.

important enough to maintain a local copy backup. tis why I tagged #3-2-1%20ignore you only need the machine on when adding to the archive. Then just shit it back down and leave it alone. Nope.
Regular backup tests is part of backup hygiene.
Otherwise you have duds you need to replace.

    To make your comment more readable, you need to edit your comment to add another line break between what you quoted and your response to it (i.e. a blank line before "Nope.").

    I don't understand what you're trying to say, and I feel like that's because you don't know how comments work...

    They screwed up the formatting, but it's clear what they're saying. They quoted you saying you don't even need electricity for archives, and they're telling you that if you don't test your backups, you don't have backups.
