Hock Tan's only goal is to increase stock value. Period. At the expense of anything and everything else, stock value.

Pretty simple, really.

Pick a couple random files that should be in the repo, restore them from a random archive, check the md5sums against the source. If the md5sums don't match (or the file can't be found), something is wrong. I am mainly backing up RAW image files, so they should never change.

Basically...

$TEST_FILE=$(ls -p /source_dir | grep -v / | shuf -n1)

$TEST_ARCHIVE=$(borgmatic -c config.file list | shuf -n1)

borgmatic extract yada yada yada

md5sum $TEST_FILE restored_file

The fact that as a customer that is impacted by this, I only found out about it when my backups and automated test restore failed is worrying.

I get that things happen, but not realising that this was going to be a service impacting event does not inspire continued confidence. Sure, this situation probably won't happen again, but what else don't they understand about their infrastructure?

14 point? Does Blinken need glasses? (ignoring the obvious double entendre there).

I was confused as well. I didn't think there were any outstanding controversies around Gen. Mitchell, but you never know...
