On: Jeff Atwood asks for help restoring a site from Internet caches

[wglb]

Old saying is "If it ain't tested, is is broken." Old corollary: "If it is tested, it might still be broken." And: "If it is a backup, it might still be broken."

Seems like a good idea to occasionally spend the time and totally fill a sparkley clean image with your backups and see how well it fares.

My sympathies.
