Send boss a memo of the number of work-hours lost per month due to data loss caused by power-offs.
Multiply each colleague's lost-work-hours by their salary and sum it all in the end, telling the boss how much that's costing the company.

You your boss has a boss, CC them to make sure they know the reason for why your boss will be trying to set you up in the future.

Oh, I just realised the "had".
