The Backup Wrap-Up

Restore Test Failed Due to Bad Documentation


Listen Later

Gary Williams tells a great story about earlier in his career that taught him the value of testing backups and updating documentation. He explains how he thought his backups were fine, until a "new guy" came onto the scene and dared to ask the question, "When was the last time you tested your backups?"
