        That's better. Did they learn a lesson here or did they blow it off?

          no, they've learnt a lesson and are now discussing an automatic daily backup - offsite and on premise.
          I also learnt from your responses. thanks

            The problem that still persists here is you are always saying they did it.
            If this is true, then this means that you need to fire them as they are doing nothing but wasting your time. Time that you could better spend looking for a new client or better serving a different client that will actually pay you to do the job they hired you for.

              We dont officially support them but charge for the time they bother us! They didnt want a full service with us. If they did they wouldnt have been in this mess in the first instance and they certainly wouldnt be allowed to unplug or touch servers/hardware without our say so!!!!

              But you are correct! The dangerous people are those who THINK they know how things work and go gung-ho with the troubleshooting!
              They have been charged accordingly for our time
