I mean, I would have thought the context was clear that that’s not really what’s being discussed. But if not, then sure, if you just have files backed up, then all you need to worry about is making sure you have enough copies of that as you need to not lose it.

I mean.. you're the one changing the context. they literally were stating what they were doing with their backup, and you moved the goalposts. not even the original meme image implied it was about whatever the hell you're on about.

No, you’re the one in a conversation that’s really not about your type of situation.

We’re talking about businesses who have servers - internet servers, internal servers

ok so you just started your own conversation without telling anyone then. yeah now it's clear why you're arguing with them like that. No one said anything of the sort until you came along. Their comment was a top level comment on a meme image, that has nothing to do with business requirements or servers. You're just making up the conversation and pretending like TrickDacy was "in a conversation that's not really about [their] type of situation".
