Been away for 2 month (from this blog). This isn’t from the lack of thing to speak about – my life have been really busy. In fact, never been so interesting and full – I’ve got at least 10 posts drafted. From photography to sysadmin work, to writing. The problem : time was lacking – to be honest, it still is.
But, beside everything that might be happening with my business (work log never been that full, started to get employees), I decided to take 2 minutes for a big fact of life (for sysadmin/management). Watch it, watch it: Nobody (especially YOU) care about backup. You care about successful restore. There! Now, I don’t want to hear about how great your backup are, if you don’t do regular restore (even as test), they’re not worth anything.
Reread those last sentences. Important point in a sysadmin life.
