7 things all kids need to hear
1 I love you
2 I'm proud of you
3 I'm sorry
4 I forgive you
5 I'm listening
6 RAID is not backup. Make offsite backups. Verify backup. Find out restore time. Otherwise, you got what we call Schrödinger backup
7 You've got what it takes

@nixCraft I had a drive fail during a backup before. Head-crash. Heard a "CLACK!" and a non-stop shifting sound, then an error popped up about input/output errors.
Never know when a drive is going to fail.

@nixCraft my stance to backup: do it, but don't depend on it. Once your data needs restoration, consider it gone.

@nixCraft make sure your storage isn't silently correcting too many errors until it catastrophically fails...

One thing all of the make-backups posts tend to leave out is that making and testing backups is work, and that society once had a specific vocation in charge of that work among other things -- system administrators -- that capitalists have tried very hard to eliminate and push onto everyone as an individual task.

@nixCraft awesome post - although I usually say something more like, you never use your name or anything like your name for an account on the internet.
