Please re-read it - I'm sorry you got downvoted, but you misunderstood what I wrote. Texas as a state is fairly well off (2nd in GDP [0]) and my expectation is more that they would have a fairly robust system set up. There's no phobia here, just that my expectation is Texas has the money to design a better system with backups and redundancies. Even a storage volume level snapshot would have saved them here and I'm a bit shocked they didn't even do that.
