You need to have support and a proper, tested, backup and restore methodology in place before you need them. Very basic administrative principles. We've seen a lot of posts here over the years where people haven't adhered to those principles, and quite often it is a conscious decision not to bother with them because of the perceived cost. Sometimes it's even worse, a poor prioritization of the the types of things that can (read: will) go wrong - like not realizing that depending on a super-duper storage device means a single point of failure, or thinking oracle database files are just flat things you can access any way you please.

It is a management decision to prioritize how much their data is worth.  There are some amazingly bad decisions out there, by people who really ought to know better. Don't be offended, you appear to be suffering the results of such a situation. Just sayin', so maybe you can make things better.
