When was the last time you tested a restore?" (paraphrased, as his word

That's a common refrain. Similar to advising that one should make backups
before needing them.

This past Saturday. I restored the LV from its backup after a Mediasonic
issue. Rebuilt the LV and restored its contents. On occasion I need a file
that I had recently deleted and successfully restore it by copying from the
most recent daily incremental backup.

Over the past 25 years I've had only one server/workstation HDD failure. I
fully restored the dirvish backups to a new HDD using rsync.
