"Untested backups are just expensive hopes and dreams."

Did some proper restore-tests of my offsite backups and restored them one after another into a local virtual machine (KVM) and verified that they decrypt, restore and boot correctly 馃檪 (including our Mastodon instance burningboard.net)

It's good to have backups, but it's an even better feeling when you know, they work, restore correctly and the procedure has been tested.

All check marks green, next test in January 2026 馃檪
