That's the advantage of small teams...

In a previous job, I started a routinary process to backup the servers in images every 6 months periodically, the week before a rollout, the day before a rollout, the day after the rollout and a week after the rollout...

Not only I could roll back if something didn't work fine, but I could get one of the backups running in a VirtualBox in an Offline PC and test with real data (not necessarily up-to-date, but still a complete real set) in a controlled environment.

Being able to do my job correctly was more important for me (and my customer) than burocrats half a world away. So I just did as the quote says: "Better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission"

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
