A client stopped complaining and forked over cash for drives when we lost 2 weeks of irreplaceable documentary footage because they didn’t listen when I asked for $150 for a backup drive.

Client: "How much is this disaster recovery plan going to cost me?"

Me: "A hell of a lot less than when you don't have (valid, tested) backups and need them"
