On the first team I worked on at [corp] we had a corner of one of the bigger labs set up as a test environment, with a row of headless PCs that were used for simulating deployment scenarios. Sitting at the end of that row was a nondescript beige box that was barely distinguishable from the test boxes, except for being a bit older, that had our team's internal website, all of our documents, scratch file shares, databases, etc. on it. Of course there were no backups. At least two times while I was there, they hired temp workers and on day one gestured in the general direction of the shelf full of machines and told them something like, "OK, you can get up to speed by reimaging those boxes for this week's test pass..."
