I read this piece as someone who just got lucky. He never tested it until he needed it. 10 minutes is good. Don’t let this story fool you to not take backups.

- mijoharas 3y ago> Don’t let this story fool you to not take backups. Do you mean don't let this story fool you to not test your backups? Because the whole point of the story is he was saved by having his backups. (Though you're right that he lucked out by having it work when he hadn't tested it)
- chromakode 3y agoI tested my backups about 6 months ago when I set up zrepl. When I mentioned it was scary until I could decrypt the data, that wasn't the whole story, actually: initially I restored the wrong wrapper key and it failed to load! It's also scary in general to go from 2 copies to only 1 copy of data. A friend and I have been planning to trade replicas but haven't set it up yet. There's definitely still room for improvement in my setup.
