"Nobody wants to backup, everybody wants to restore."
This very much. For backups, the great crunchtime isn't when you set up the backups and see them appear where you want them. Crunchtime is when your system is in turmoil, and you need to recover what you've lost.
I've seen so many people claim their backups are in perfect order, only to lose data because something broke between setup and recovery.
