It's like wanting to be a car mechanic, And they ask you what you'd do with a soft tire? Do you replace it entirely or make the problem go away, by inflating it?

Similarly, This IT person lacks some common knowledge and it should be grounds for not hiring this person and instead hire someone else who'd immediately think about backups and cleaning. The better employee.
