Overheard a project manager in Dallas say they don't require a backup of the final CAD file
I was grabbing coffee last week and heard a guy from a big firm say their standard is just the PDF and the native file on the server. No separate backup copy. That made me freeze. If that server has a problem, the whole project record is gone. I've started making a point to save a final .dwg to a cloud folder on every job now. How many of you have a set backup rule for your final drawings?

What happens if their server just dies?

Been there, it's a total nightmare.

Seriously though, what's the backup plan when that happens? Like, do they just lose everything forever? Seems like a huge risk to take with people's stuff.
