Real sys admins know this pain (rm suffers no fools) and accept the consequences of recovering from backups as pennance. No backups? Then you aren’t really a sys admin then, are you?
Once I had to restore an entire organization from shadow copies because the IT director didn’t believe in off-site backups or using endpoint protection. The whole network got a ransomware that included the backups, but did not include the shadow copies on the main file server.
At least I got to help them build a disaster recovery procedure, and pick out a new EDR.
