Homelab Hero · No. 015: your result

Hero call. 100 Hero Points.

Exactly right. A green job log is not a backup — a restore is, and the one restore you ran just failed. The older generations and the offsite copy tell you what you actually still have, the backup chain gets fixed while the array is untouched, and the swap waits until it can lean on backups that have proved they restore.

The lesson: Test restores are the backup. A job that reports success 41 nights straight can still be writing nothing you can use.
