Exactly. today we're able to see a bad disaster recovery happening, but it happens all the time. I revised my backups and added some redundancy to it. Everyone knows how much backups are important and talk about it all the time, but I bet a lot of companies don't do it right. It is expensive, don't add real value (except when it does), etc. Today I added automated replication of backups from AWS to another cloud provider. Just in case... I did this becauase recently, a local brazilian cloud provider (ServerLoft) didn't paid his server (Equinix) and went offline forever. 16k companies went offline without time to recover anything there. |

I'm using this as a great example of a reason to bump up some of the fixes to some of our backups and replication issues up the priority list. And it's much easier to sell to some of the "higher ups" when you can point at a concrete example of how badly a misstep here can hurt.
I'm floored with their honesty and openness, I can honestly say I wouldn't be able to put this out there like they have... But i'm really glad they are doing it, and I'm really happy at the outpouring of support they are getting for it from people like 2ndQuadrant.
