tired -- write some bad automation and mess up your system
wired -- use that as a great excuse to confirm that your backups are working
The other day I bragged about how a home lab backup was tested due to bad automation, so yesterday I wanted to manually run the backup job on a different server, before doing a different automation. Then I realized that backup had been failing for at least 20 days, after some package updates. Now I need to figure out a *monitoring* system for my backups.
You can't ever win. Everything needs to be monitored!
@badnetmask it used to be, you could have the monitor send email to yourself, but with cloud email, that likely will be refused.

Yeah, I do have ways to send notifications to myself that do not include email. I just need to figure out what to use to generate such notification.
