Keep three clocks: last successful backup, last integrity check, last restore rehearsal (even small table slices count). Document who approves scary flags; panic plus sudo rarely ages well. When sharing procedures, accessible writing matters—W3C’s WCAG quick reference reminds us clarity helps humans under stress, not just compliance PDFs.
Backups only count when restores do too
Scripts that “ran fine” absent humans are folklore until someone touches the scary button weekday morning.
