If only.

The regulations only say that backups have to be taken every day.

If I make too much of a fuss about it, the head IT people will probably 
just nominate some random person and promote them to be a member of IT. 
(Despite the fact they have no clue what they're doing.) And then I'll 
have solved one medium problem and created a large problem...

This is always the worry - rather than do the simple and easy thing that 
completely solves the problem, they always want to do something more 
complicated that generates new problems. I really hate it!

Still, with a little unauthorised access to centralised systems, I was 
able to sort this particular problem out without their help. "The" 
sysadmin may be God, but when you have several of them things start to 
get... interesting.

(Wasn't there a Pratchey book gooded "small gods" or something?)
