Lotus Notes Server Dies Inconveniently

One morning at a former workplace at which I did PC support, the Lotus Notes server went down because of a hardware problem the fourth in three months or so from failed hard disks. Later that day, after the newest dead drive had been replaced and the server brought back up, the network administrator told me about a discussion he had with the IT manager. The IT manager had asked if we could "schedule server failures for more convenient times in the future."

He was dead serious.
