I really enjoy RDS for not having to worry about this. Point-in-time rollbacks for the past 24 hours, and if we accidentally drop the whole database we can restore it from the periodical snapshots.
- hnarn 3y agoZFS snapshots are really nice too, if ZFS is an option.
- andrewaylett 3y agoYou should probably still try it occasionally :). For one of my team's services, we don't just back up the data: we then also restore it into a parallel environment. If the backup fails, the restore fails, and then the environment fails, and while our monitoring might miss some instances of spurious success, it's less likely that the whole chain will look like it's working if the actual backup is not actually working.
