  • And no, I have not tested it because I don’t know how I’m actually supposed to do that.

    depends on what you backup and how.

    if it’s just “dumb” files (videos, music pictures etc.), just retrieve them from your backups and check if you can open the files.

    complex stuff? probably try to rebuild the complex stuff from a backup and check if it works as expected and is in the state you expect it to be in. how to do that really depends on the complex stuff.

    i’d guess for most people it’s enough to make sure to backup dumb files and configurations, so they can rebuild their stuff rather than being able to restore a complex system in exactly the same state it was in before bad things happened.



  • This is why i listen to audiobooks or radio plays to fall asleep to.

    They are engaging enough to stop the noise but i can still fall asleep listening.

    Works good for me, atleast most of the time*.

    *Damn you Will Patton for reading Stephen King novells in such a gripping way, you are banned from bedtime listening!
