That's absolutely correct. If business is presented with the situation, then they get to make the decision. If they don't think that it's worth the cost, then that, as many other things just don't get done.

In my organization the expectation was that it was "on tape". I don't have the person-hours, disk space or spare servers to do that kind of recovery. My management has been presented repeatedly with those types of options; but balk at the cost (particularly when our file servers have a working backup system and tape rotation system that already provides the type of retention that my user community seems to want). So in my environment, I find it better to educate & set expectations up-front. This helps provide the services that my community needs, and keep costs down as well - which is something I get hammered with all the time. This is a business need too! What everyone is saying about supporting business needs is fine and true; however sometimes the business doesn't have the money to pay for every "option"... Just my 2 cents. Flames offline please...
