This should have been my first blog post ever. This is what separates the men from the boys, the professionals from the amateurs, the serious IT professional from the end-user.
Assumption is the mother of all fuckups.
Always test your backups, never assume they will work. Backups are sacred. When everything has gone to hell, backups will bring you salvation. And to be 100% assured that they will work, you need to test them.
Always plan your work around your backups, so that continuity of backups is preserved.
Never forget.
