Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

0, thanks for asking.
Seriously though, how are you guys testing your home backups? I don't have a spare Synology nas sitting around or spare 16tb drives.
The only way to test restoring a backup is to actually restore it. And for that, you do need spare hardware.
So, to answer your question, I don't test my home backups either. I reckon pretty much no one is dedicated enough to do that.
I'm hoping, if shit really hits the fan that I can still pick out my important files and just manually re-setup the rest of the system. So, with a longer downtime in that sense.
That strategy is just absolutely not viable for companies, where downtimes are more expensive than spare hardware, and where you really can't tell users you restored some files, they should do the rest.
