hey it's that time again.

do you have data? that you like? is it backed up? do you have automatic backups you've checked are actually happening?

in multiple locations?

have you done a test restore to make sure the backups work?

*even an extra copy on a flash drive is better than no backups*

@NanoRaptor remember back in 2006 or so, our branch failed to pass backup policy checkup, because weekly incremental backups haven’t been stored in bank safe storage in distance of at least 5 kilometres away from our offices. It was only 4.7 km. All the other metrics we passed. We did had every 6 month drill to check our backups. In theory CTO randomly selected time and file/dataset and we needed to make proof we have backup from that point of time. Remember one day he had selected one particular email. We needed to spin up secondary instance of ms exchange server, restore whole mailboxes dataset and copy out that particular email.
