It's not a mission critical server, and if it was, I would not touch that shite without having another just like it as a staging server that would get all updates first before doing anything to the production server
Frick, we have over 550 Virtual Servers. We have the ability to snapshot servers prior to doing updates and then failing back if they cause issues. That has been done with maybe 50 machines ever, and probably just maybe 25 of them on a regular basis.
Of course, we also have backups of our stuff and can rebuild them if need be.
The organization really needs to look at their backup solution and figure out why this critical system wasn't backed up. And if it was, why they aren't able to recover it. If it is that critical. They should have regular backups onsite and offsite. And, they should be testing backup recovery on a regular basis.

This is pretty much it. shite happens, back it up. We have walked out on customers who refuse to get some sort of backup protection. My boss has called a business owner a dumbass right to his face because of it.
