Why do companies pay so much for IT staff, but refuse to pay anything to have running systems or backups?

Step1: Look for a new gig.
Step2: Look for a new gig.
Now context is lost. Nick k modded my last comment
Is this why people don't like me?

You would know. You eat dirt. Right?
Whataburger for lunch and leftovers for dinner.
For some reason I have a strong desert craving right now.

Solution. Put up some Nanny Cams.
Catch them turn them in, shame them, evidence, or your own pleasure. Your home, your rules.
Just put that you have security cameras on the premise, just dont have to state where they are for security reasons.
So the older lady was there with kids from the high school she works at? Someone is getting expelled and it isnt the teen.
Customer asked, can we get a backup of our 365 content? (they only use SP, Skype, OD, Teams).
No, but you are now a GA so you can open a ticket and ask them if you want.
I laughed a lot on the inside.

Getting tons of work done, I see.
Well he did a ton he has been here since 9am so I suppose he can take a break now. Teach me for hiring a guitarist
Yeah, you should have known....
What is your storage footprint like? % used/free.
Can you buy a two bay synology for under $200 on amazon and get some drives for it, copy your stuff there and blow away?
Remember you cant have 5 drives in R10, with your setup at least.
2 pairs of the 3tb drives, so you only get 6TB then a hotspare, but the space you loose. So think of that.. Will you need larger drives? What is your growth like?

Ouch... if you try to rebuild that array and it works (don't hold your breath), I'd go out and buy a ticket to every lottery you can, because you'll never have that kind of luck again.
I had StoreVirtual dual node SAN with 24 4TB drives take 7.5 days to repair without issue or popping another drive. Raid 6 thankfully though.
I don't know if I could handle 7.5 days without sleep!
Trust me, I woke up some nights to see if my VPN was still up. (an RRAS VM) then log into storage and check the percent complete.

Edit: Thankfully I got Dev/QA to approve shutting down servers for a week that would not be need to lessen the load. Might have been bad times if I didnt.
Also, be proactive and order the drive now. Personally I would order 2.
I also like to keep one spare on hand if you are setup without hotspare.
What are the sizes of the drives?
Zooming in and reading the cables, it does say HD SDI.
Lots of BNC type connectors it appears.
Besides SAM, quite over there. Who else blogs about IT? I was debating starting a IT Blog/KB since the pain that I endure, I would like to help others out. Like Spiceworks but on a more Proactive level. Working for an MSP, you are thrown at a lot of stuff, even the things the vendor has no documentation on ahem....Teams.....
Wordpress? Worth the extra time writing? More kinda in brain dump mode right now trying to figure it out. Anyone else besides SAM?I think that, if you blog, you need to be able to write. From this post alone, I can clearly see that you may lack in a fundamental skill. It's a good thing that the Internet is here to help you!

Who asked you anyway?
Using proper keywords on forums is good. Unless you are experts exchange. More sites just need better SEO.
I will start.
