Backup Appreciation Day 2017-08-03
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 several things to test here.
-
Restore WAL-E backup for our production DB (relevant documentation) - Restore of a secondary servers with WAL-E w/GPG encryption (relevant documentation):
-
dev.gitlab.com -
chef.gitlab.com -
Test restore of an Azure snapshot (relevant documentation) -
Test restore of PackageCloud database (relevant documentation)
Automate steps that can be automated. Previous B.A.D.: #2166 (closed).
This time, the resulting server with our production DB should not be cleaned, but rather left to @yorickpeterse for experiments as part of #2392.
