There is a difference between verifying that your data is backed up and verifying that you can do a complete operational restore on a moment's notice.

- Spivak 5y agoVery few shops can do what you're describing. It's not something that is often worthwhile enough to get budget and engineering time. If you're reaching into your backups for a full restore then you're going to have data unavailability due to the nature of how cold backups work. Having delayed replicas and warm backups are a godsend when you have them but lots of shops don't want to pay at least 2x for their production db cluster and know the tradeoffs they're making.
