Went to do a test restore of one of my databases and I noticed the dump files over the last few months were all 0kb. Glad I caught it this way and not because I needed to restore. Put it on your calendar, schedule a test restore of your critical stuff a couple times a year. I know y’all are busy but it is worth the time and effort. A backup you can’t actually restore isn’t a backup at all.

    My understanding of 3-2-1 is different;

    3 copies of your data, on two different storage mediums, with one offsite.

    E.g. SSD live copy, hot HDD backup, cold HDD backup offsite.

    Is this wrong?
