I'm no network admin or whatever, but wouldn't you NOT want your backup server connected to the internet?

Sucks for these guys though. I guess their plan seemed like a good idea at the time. Hard to really predict these kind of things.

What they did was stupid. But I don't think they expected someone to break into their servers and destroy all their data for absolutely no reason. They probably saw no reason to take enterprise level backup precautions.
