Backup Verification Exposes Hidden Recovery Risks

Relying solely on data backup isn't enough - you need to verify that your applications can actually be recovered and restored to working order in the event of a disaster. Simply copying data to storage doesn't guarantee a smooth recovery, and that's a risk many IT professionals are unknowingly taking.

🚀 Hold onto your keyboards, folks! In an astounding revelation, periodic #MySQL syncs don't have psychic powers to detect deleted rows or intermediate updates 🤯. But fear not, mere mortals, for the almighty #binlog is here to save the day with its magical abilities that, shockingly, require specific settings to function! 🧙‍♂️

Adventures in photo recovery; came back from family vacation yesterday, imported the contents of the SD card into Apple Photos (unfortunately with “remove after import” selected), today 500/800 images are reporting errors and cannot be opened 🤦‍♂️
Now going through the motions of recovering them from the SD card. Lesson learned: don’t erase the SD card until everything is confirmed and backed up.

Need help with some data recovery.

I have an external 1TB hdd that is failing: finder mounts it, but it’s *extremely* slow.

I then began imaging it with ddrescue. All good, though slow, but… the partition table in the disk image seems to be corrupted.

The one on the hdd must be good, since finder is mounting it with no problems.

So, is there a way to copy the partition table from the hdd to the image that wouldn’t destroy the data? gdisk? Suggestions?

That sinking feeling when you delete a file you spent hours on is the worst. If you act fast, the undo file deletion shortcut Ctrl + Z on Windows or Cmd + Z on Mac can bring it back instantly. I wrote a full guide on what to do if the shortcut fails here: https://gwizit.com/go/x2TwrjM

Back in December last year, I suffered a massive incident on the home infra, which lead to all of the media’s of the Synapse server (decentralised one-place messaging service) to be lost

Well, surprise surprise, the other day I found that my backup routine had done what it was supposed to

Hourly cumulative backups, daily full backups, weekly backups retention for 3 months, and monthly backups retention for 1 year

So I restored the latest before-outage backup, diffed both the production and restored volume, and transferred over the difference

The immense sensation of relief realising everything worked as expected, and that all the memories with the SO are still there

One more tale on how important backups are !
