So I have a customer who is still running embedded.

Awhile ago (maybe a year) they switched their IT person, and instead of creating a good backup plan, this is what he did.

He made the network share on the server be a folder that was synchronized through Dropbox... That way (he thought), it would backup automatically in Dropbox.

Can anybody guess what happens next?

And the IT person seems to be telling them that it is an acceptible solution.

Out of 180-ish Dat files, 19 of them have "Conflict Copies" created automatically by Dropbox.

So today, the customer says "It should work... why are you saying it won't work?" even though I sent them a document directly from Dropbox that says "Don't do this".

Does anybody have a "throw my hands up in the air" emoji?
