Day 19/30: A backup you have never restored is a motivational theory

Creating backups is only the first step.

You must also know:

What is being backed up?
How often?
How long is it r
etained?
Who can access it?
Can it actually be restored?

Test the recovery process regularly.

Discovering that a backup is incomplete during a real incident is like testing the spare tyre after the tyre has already burst.

Backups are not about storing data. They are about recovering it.
