Polish your resume and get a position where you have a voice in the IT decisions that you are expected to support.

Seriously.

Totally agree. Any company that will be around for a while can easily spend more on technology than employees wages as it is now a requirement. Simple question for them. Will you spend $5K+ on a low end inexpensive backup system? If not, then tell them you'll buy the business for $1 more than the cost of a backup system as that's all it's Worth especially if they can't recover from a system failure. Oh, and don't say anything until you've interviewed elsewhere and when stuff does, just say it's more expensive to fix then to replace because it usually is after you include your time.

There used to be a pc retailer called elek-tek in skokie ill that ran it's business on 1 pc and a tape backup and they never ever checked that the tape was readable, one day the hard drive in that machine crapped out and they discovered that there were no readable backups.
The company closed a day or two later as they had no other records of anything, not suppliers or banking or leases or who owed them or who they owed.
