Backup Appreciation Day 2017-06-02
It's that time again, backup appreciation day! The goal of this day is to ensure our backups are in fact actually backing up. There are three things to test here.
-
Restore WAL-E backup for our production DB (relevant documentation) -
Restore of a secondary server (i.e. customers.gitlab.com) WAL-E backup -
Test restore of an Azure snapshot (relevant documentation) -
Test restore of PackageCloud database (relevant documentation)
These things are still quite manual as automation is simply a lower priority task at the moment and will happen in the future.
