Client: Hi. my SEO guy messed up the website. Its kind of .... you know .... gone. You must have the backup. Please restore

Me (after 10 mins): Done

.............

Client: Hi again. I don't see my changes from yesterday. Why?

Me: Because I had 2 months old backup.

Client: Why?

Me: Because that's the last time I worked on your website. And you changed the credentials later on.

Client: But you're a programmer. You must have had a back door to take back ups.

........

Client: Hello?

Me: It's time to leave earth.

    I had something like this a few months ago after an unknown (angry) dev nuked the customer's hosting. I restored from the only backup they had, a year old sql file and a zip of a fishy cms.

    Client: "You used the wrong image on the homepage. That text is wrong too.".

    O rly?!

    @SirPally putting in a backdoor will open up space for others to get into your site. I wouldn't do it tho.
