I worked for a company once where a "consultant" was brought in to look at our "production efficiency". Some big wig came up with the idea that we should make sure we are using our production servers effectively. Not to many, not to few. We really only had 3 servers (Jerry, Kramer and Newman). Newman took a daily beating running some very large databases. It held firm though. The "consultant" decided to move a database to its one machine. During this transition this person started a backup and then whacked the production database while the backup was still running because they felt the backup had "probably already backed up the database since it has been running for hours". Dead in the water. Restored from a week old backup to the dismay of a lot of people working there whom had lost critical pieces of their work.
