Someone at Pixar deleted all of Toy Story 2 and the backup hadn't worked for a month, and the only reason we saw that movie was b/c someone on maternity leave had a copy of it on her home computer.

Her name is Galyn Susman and she is now the producer for the new Lightyear movie!

Just because you know you are backing up, it does not mean you know where the back ups are going or if they work!

Another high profile example of back ups failing is https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2017/02/01/gitlab-dot-com-database-incident/

Please test your backups!
