I worked as a consultant for a hardware vendor for nearly ten years (this was a while ago).A lot of companies do very silly things, and then get burned for it.
People have been fired for really dumb backup strategies, but its a small consolation compared to the cost of lost data and productivity.
I could probably tell you a few horror stories, including a company that had to rebuild their data warehouse from scratch, or a company that couldn't restore from tape because they forgot to backup their tape catalog, tapes that refuse to load because the replacement drive has different firmware, RAID controller failures that wiped out entire arrays ...
"hard disk based backup of critical enterprise data" is an oxymoron. If it was really that critical, you wouldn't rely on just hard disks. I know of at least half a dozen companies that have learnt this, the hard way (one of them was the company that had to rebuild their data warehouse from scratch).
