How good are your server backups?
A PSA for anyone who manages web servers or sites: not only should you have backups in place, you should make sure you understand how to use those backups if needed.
→ 1x day backup is sufficient enough for the server itself, as the code itself is relatively static and also backed up in Github.
→ If user generated data was being written to the server instead of something like Amazon S3, I should consider more frequent backups.
→ I should have more frequent/separate backups for databases.
→ Linode’s backup feature and the ability to restore from backups went very smoothly. 10/10 would recommend. Check them out here: https://www.linode.com/lp/refer/?r=6f...
