- Skynet is able to build a time machine, but doesn't even consider having a backup policy, with replication servers and backup servers all over the world?
Are we talking Skynet from the future or Skynet as Genisys? If it's the latter, it couldn't because it was only localised to the building it was in at that point until the countdown ends, which would allow it to be uploaded globally.
As for Skynet of the future, it could be that it did have backup servers, but lost too much of -or all of- them in the war and as a result, was destroyed in the last volley that we see near the beginning of the film.

Skynet as Genisys. And this troper wasn't talking about a global world upload, just, you know, a basic backup. No one in the current world would be foolish enough to have a program as important as Genisys without having a backup policy, and backup servers. Every major major company knows that investing in them is a necessity.

Well seeing as the stinger shows Genisys is still operational and underground, that means they probably did have a backup.
On the idiot ball topic, why didn't John have a few T-1000 secretly prepared to protect the Cyberdyne campus rather than to fight all alone? He only needed a few score minutes so any way to delay his opponents would help! Did becoming the T-3000 remove whatever clever mind that had made him such an efficient resistance leader?

Being a resistance leader turned T-3000 doesn't mean you automatically end up learning how to build advanced CPU chips required to control the mimetic poly-alloy and make T-1000s. To be fair, John probably didn't know where Kyle and Sarah had gone until they just show up out of the blue nearing a few days before Skynet/Genisys was to be uploaded, so there wouldn't be much need to set that up. And despite the resources Cyberdyne Systems have, Genisys comes first as they are pushing to make it available to the public.
That being said though, it is shown that they are testing T-1000s, though Danny may not have an application for them, let alone know what they would be used for.

So, acid drips on Sarah's jacket and she took it off to use some deactivation spray. But why she not putting jacket on again? It took some time for acid to burn through leather, so it much more safer than getting acid on bare skin or thin t-shirt...
