They must be running without backups, or else they're too dumb to know that backups can replace a dead machine. Either way, those sysadmins are worse than useless. EVERY system should be able to be up and running, back to normal service, within several hours of a complete software crash with either a complete restore from backup, or an 'assisted' system re-installation. (One where previous system config files and user's files are replaced too.)
