A backup job saying “completed successfully” doesn’t tell you whether you can get a working system back.

If you’ve restored a Linux machine or service, what did the first attempt miss? Configuration, permissions, databases, encryption keys, or something less obvious? What did you change after testing the restore?

If you haven’t tested yours, what would you need to restore first?
