Probably should consider crash recovery as a second line of defense against lost data, not the primary line of defense. What are the stats on how often crash recovery failed?
- cryptonector 2y agoCrashing more often would test that better.
- eslaught 2y agoThe entire point is that crash recovery fails because you rarely test it. By making it the one and only code path, by definition, you will be testing it all the time, so it is much more likely to work in the first place. (The obvious counterargument being that if there are different ways in which the software can crash, this is still not an adequate defense.)
- watersb 2y agoI always tell clients that backups are boring but restores are very exciting. If you make restores boring, then you're closer to resilience. If you have a backup procedure for mass storage, practice restoring that data.
