A service that crashes loudly gets noticed. A backup job that simply <em>stops running</em> makes no noise at all — no error, no alert, no broken page — and you carry on believing you&rsquo;re protected right up until the day you need the backup and discover the last good one is six weeks old. The job didn&rsquo;t fail. It just quietly ceased, and nothing was watching for its absence.</p>Sat, 07 Sep 2024 10:23:00 +0000
