      Not that I don't hope that the teeth are well...

        Well I am happy that the Ubuntu 16.04 to 16.10 upgrade went off without a hitch.

        Because I clicked checkpoint on the wrong machine.. I just went in to remove the checkpoint and there was not one there!

          Getting NethServer 7.0 RC3 uploaded so that I can start playing with it.

          Scott, I was curious on how your testing with NethServer went. I have previously tested it as well and it was nice. Community was lively as well as helpful. I was curious on your impressions.

              Our doctor's office just emailed us to tell us that 2+ years of medical records were lost because they weren't testing backups. They kept getting a "your backup was successful" message, but no one looked to see if that was true.

              So not only did they totally lose their medical records system (um, really?) but they don't have working backups.

              I'll hold my hands up on this too, we are terrible and testing.

              But that's about to change as i'm reviewing our entire backup and testing procedures over the next month or two.

                We check all customers backups every week, and the majority get a test restore done at least once a month too, just to be on the safe side - so might be worth doing test restores as well - no good making sure the backup works if you're unable to restore the data if it does die!

                              Checking means actually doing a restore. The doctors office that just lost everything has clear logs, too.

                                      yeah, What Scott said is what I was going for.

                                      The reality is that Scott's doctor's office probably never did a test restore, even one would have shown the issue most likely.

                                        But that's about to change as i'm reviewing our entire backup and testing procedures over the next month or two.

                                        We check all customers backups every week, and the majority get a test restore done at least once a month too, just to be on the safe side - so might be worth doing test restores as well - no good making sure the backup works if you're unable to restore the data if it does die!

                                        If by checking you mean looking at the logs.... That's not really checking. A restore is the only real check. Of course having logs that day the backups were successful is a good first step.

                                        Full logs checked every week, and any warnings/errors raised to be fixed

                                        Checking means actually doing a restore. The doctors office that just lost everything has clear logs, too.

                                        Fair enough, that's once a month then!

                                        yeah, What Scott said is what I was going for.

                                        The reality is that Scott's doctor's office probably never did a test restore, even one would have shown the issue most likely.

                                        They did not, no one did. They just checked the logs, saw no errors and assumed that it would work.

                                          How do yall feel about Veeam B&R's SureBackup? Is that as reliable as checking the backups themselves or do you actually check for VM functionality in an isolated environment?
