The kind of place where “backups” means playing Russian Roulette with one set of old ass tapes, if you’re lucky.

Yeah, it was all tapes. We only had to use them once when I worked there: after finding out the UPS connected to the mainframe was a dud. And then it really was roulette because the first two tapes were unreadable, so we ended up with three week old data.
