THIS IS A POST IN PRAISE OF SNAPSHOTS.

My PeerTube upgrade was a horror show: lost server connection during the upgrade and then PeerTube was automatically removed from my YunoHost server... the routine backup by YunoHost of PeerTube didn't restore... in short: bad, very bad outcome.

I hyperventilated for a few minutes and then... hit "Restore" on the VPS snapshot I had captured before the maintenance operation and... everything went back to normal.

Heart still beating a little fast but I am in AWE of the powers of SNAPSHOTS, ouf.

@elena in real life, you’re supposed to test your backups by regularly restoring them on a spare zone to ensure any recover goes well πŸ˜‡

PS: Never seen it applied in any company I worked for.

Glad you had success with your snapshot though! πŸ˜‰πŸ‘
