Ok, so don't change or upgrade anything for years. Sounds like a good solution. /s What happens when your VM host craps out and nobody knows how to restore it?

Ok, so don't change or upgrade anything for years. Sounds like a good solution. /s What happens when your VM host craps out and nobody knows how to restore it? I once had a contract job at place that hadn't updated their systems in over 5 years. One server, a VM like you describe, had a 1500 day uptime. The VP/CIO was in a panic because nothing was supported anymore.
