A customer in Seattle made me rethink my whole approach to data backups
I was setting up a new workstation for a small law firm last month, and the office manager asked me to verify their backup system was working. When I showed her the cloud sync was active, she looked me right in the eye and said, 'But can you show me a file restored from last Tuesday?' I had to admit I hadn't actually tested a restore in months. How often do you guys do real restore tests for clients?

Wow, that's like checking your smoke alarm by waiting for a fire!
