> The Interior Ministry explained that while most systems at the Daejeon data center are backed up daily to separate equipment within the same center and to a physically remote backup facility, the G-Drive’s structure did not allow for external backups.

This is why I don't really want to run my own cloud :)

Actually testing the backups is boring.

That said, ones the flames are out, they might actually be able to recover some of it.

Testing backups is boring. If you want exciting, test restores!

  • Hm, care to elaborate. I kinda liked this idea even though I know that it shouldn't make much sense but still lol, would this have any benefits over testing backups other than the excitement lol

    • The joke is that if you don't test backups you'll end up seeing if they work once you're restoring after a disaster, which is exciting
