      Can't - the not so silent, silent partner refuses to allow them to use a cloud backup service. Hell, they won't even allow the company to do a backup over a VPN to another location.

      This is very common in healthcare actually

      Still does not mean it is right, nor does it mean that it is the problem of anyone in IT. Send confirmation of intent email and ignore. Because the business has decided what to do.

      Hey I got to bill for an extra 10 hours building some crazy solution because of what they wanted.. so I'm fine.

        No problem, just explain that it's not cloud at all, just hosted.

            the problem is - someone else is managing it - at least that what I think the problem is.. I get it entirely 3rd hand.
