One thing I emphasize in every training I do is that you do not have backups until you know exactly how long it will take to restore.

That way you can tell your boss it’ll take three times as long and be hailed as a miracle worker, as Scotty intended.

Do people actually do that? Because that would be funny

Yes, because otherwise you never get a break.

I see you've never worked in corporate IT

I 100% started doing this years ago and work is far less stressful. Temper their expectations, because it's rare for any boss or company to treat you fairly and honestly.
