I’ve learned that at the very least to ensure that everything is being properly backed up and that the restore works. Testing this regularly puts my mind at ease that even if my site, application, whatever gets destroyed, stolen, etc I can bring it back to life in a very short time. It’s very difficult to ensure that something is 100% secure (not even sure if possible since the major players like Twitter make mistakes). Of course, this doesn’t solve the issue of data being taken but that’s why it’s important to understand the data you actually store and if you truly need to store it or if some could be handled another way.
