Again, this is a fundamental difference between you and me Mike. You automatically think that Microsoft as a corporation doesn't care about their customers, and I don't think that has anything to do with this issue.
These types of things happen in corporations all over the world every day. It is not the corporation's fault, it is probably some mid-level manager who is more than a little overworked and just did not do what he knew he had to do. Very likely there were time constraints on this tied to some sort of system roll-out that caused them to try to do shortcuts instead of do what they knew they were supposed to do.
I don't think it is any thing close to what you are getting at here Mike, and I am fairly certain the guy that did not do what he was supposed to do will be fired. I deal with this kind of thing daily with companies who lose their data because some guy did not do what they were supposed to do. It doesn't mean the company does not care about their clients though.

Even most people who own computers and aren't IT workers of any level know
this. It's pretty obvious that redundancy is the key to data security.
If you're really serious about it you store the data in multiple data
centers very geographically dispersed. It's only if you really don't give
a crap about your customers that you fail to have any kind of backup
whatsoever even in the middle of a system upgrade.
