Somehow I had a database corruption and I did not know how to restore from backup. It was a bad experience until I saw that it worked. Make regular and check your backups.

I run Borg backup, and I did a successful live test yesterday. Deleted the wrong file and hade to restore it.
How do you guys test your backups?
I have restored my proxmox setup from backup and it worked, but that is not something I do on regular basis.
I have from time to time done spot checks that certain files are working.
Most of the time I rely on the verification done by proxmox backup server…
How do you guys test your backups?
The image backups I do of my server are tested in a VM
An untested backup is not a backup, it’s a wish.
Also known as Schrödinger’s Backup.
Schrödinger did not have a backup cat.
Well, he did and he didn’t…
Narrator: The fire detector in fact did not work.
There’s more than one kind of backup in life, check them all.
That’s a gimmie. I test server image backups in a VM. So far, I’ve never had to resort of a backup, but I don’t want to find out that my image is worthless if I ever had the need.
Two backups is one and one is none.
Two untested backups are worse than one tested backup though.
3, 2, 1… Test the backup!
… Is that the rule, right?
From now on!
