shaming is easy maybe they were backing up their stuff properly, but backups were wiped as well. even if you have some fancy append-only storage someone still has access to it and that access can be misued.
> maybe they were backing up their stuff properly, but backups were wiped as well. You realize this is contradictory?
I believe this is the case of "no true Scotsman". Whatever backup you propose, someone will point out that you could have done it better. You could have disconnected servers with backups from network when they are not in use. You could have hired a dedicated person whose responsibility would be to deny/delay any request from management to delete the backups. And so on.
