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 The way i accomplished this was that I stated using a cron management software called Dagu! Then I use curl to send me a notification to pushover when the backup start and finish. I use the software to kick off ansible as well. It’s pretty great.

I'll take a look at it. Thanks!
