Backups Can Save Your Data. They Cannot Automatically Save Your Data Warehouse

A lot of teams say the same thing after a warehouse incident:

“We have backups. We’re fine.”

Not necessarily.

A backup can restore files.
It cannot automatically restore ingestion order, orchestration, metadata, access, downstream trust, or business visibility.

That is why DWH resilience is not just a backup problem.
It is a disaster recovery problem.
