Sure - and it's kinda hard to do operations with a machine that's turned 
off and without backup media in place.  Kinda like running a tape backup 
but not putting a tape in the drive every night.

I worked for a retail chain where store managers had to remember to do 
that - and often didn't.  So the server would "prompt" them by sounding a 
foghorn. :)
