- satvikpendem 11mo agoOne thing I learned working in the industry, you have to check them when you're using AWS too.
- awestroke 11mo agoReally? You're saying RDS backups can't be trusted?
- satvikpendem 11mo agoTrusted in what sense, that they'll always work perfectly 100% of the time? No, therefore one must still check them from time to time, and it's really no different when self hosting, again, if you do it correctly.
- awestroke 11mo agoWhat are some common ways that RDS backups fail to be restored?
- satvikpendem 11mo agoWhy are you asking me this? Are you trying to test whether I've actually used RDS before? I'm sure a quick search will find you the answer to your question.
- SoftTalker 11mo agoNo backup strategy can be blindly trusted. You must verify it, and also test that restores actually work.
