I wonder why restoring from a backup isn't working?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

My guess is, like 90% of businesses, they have multiple backups, set up monitoring for when a backup job fails, store them on redundant disks in different locations, dutifully write them on tape too, in addition to a copy in cloud storage, and have never ever tested restoring one.

Or there is a completely different issue causing this and restoring would do nothing.
