The horror stories I had shared with my boss are as relevant today as when they happened.
His is from the early 90s, the RAID card on the backup server was bad so it was just randomly flipping bits on the files being stored... nothing was ever tested until they needed one of those backups.
Mine was about a tape setup that followed the correct 3-2-1 setup... one of the CLI tools had an update and the agreement was waiting for user input so it would just drop and the rest of the script continued... no one had ever tested a backup so the tapes being shuffled around were empty.
