Heh, I had a customer a looong time ago that did that on the machine they used for their accounting and customer service and stuff.
They were trying to do the backups to tape.
Office Drone 1: Hey, how do I format a tape?
Office Drone 2: format c:
And apparently they wanted to format the tape because their backups hadn't been working for a long time! Long enough that while the data was being backed up, somehow they'd stopped backup up the application itself (which was written in BASIC and customized for them). They had to pay to get the application re-customized to read the out of date data files, and then try to recreate who knows how much information.
Glad I didn't do that one.
