What's your timescale? If you take medicine for a chronic condition you can often skip a dose without problem, maybe even two, but eventually you presumably revert back to where you were before treatment. I saw a lot of this back in the "reengineering the corporation" craze in the 90s (and then the "lean organization" and so on). They cut all the slack out of the system so in steady state everything seemed to work. But the world is not consistently in a steady state. So fire that guy doing backups, and save money by not paying for the redundant network connection you've never used. Stock goes up, prepare three envelopes, and retire!
