Periodic, versioned backups are the ultimate defense against bugs.
Periodic, versioned and tested backups.
It absolutely, totally, never ever happened to me that I had a bunch of backups available that turned out to be effectively unrestorable the moment I needed them. 😭
The worse feeling than realizing you don't have backup is realizing your backup archives are useless.
Or like that time gitlab found out that none of its 5 backup/replications worked and lost 6 hours of data.
