Well at least we got a backup, right?
Right???
It last ran a week ago and we technically haven't tested it. Just our hot replicas which also just deleted all that data.
And of course by now every downstream system replicated AND CACHED that data.
Holy shit the truth with replication deleting the data you needed too true lmao
I felt a slight jolt of adrenaline on that second "right???" After living through something similar...
ah the cold sweat and clenching of the anus
Back up? No, we only go forward in this company
"That's why the windshield is bigger than the rear view mirror, we should be vigilant in remaining forward looking."
Said by an exec in my chain of command when he caused a huge cascading fuck up in the organization and there was no postmortem allowed.
Backup? What is this backup you speak of?
