Chapter 2: Horror Stories: We Thought We Had a Backup!
Series: The Definitive Guide Series
Author: Don Jones
ISBN: pending
Horror stories. Tales from the trenches. Case studies. Call them what you will, I love reading them. They’re a look into our colleagues’ real-world lives and troubles, and an opportunity for us to learn something from mistakes—without having to make the actual mistakes ourselves. This chapter shares stories about backups to highlight problems that you yourself may have encountered. For each, we’ll look at some of the root causes for those problems, and suggest ways that a modernized “Backup 2.0” approach might help solve the problem. Names, of course, have been changed to protect the innocent—and those guilty of relying on the decades-old Backup 1.0 mentality.
