   Sometimes, when you break stuff, it's not worth fighting it. Just recover the backup.

     @badnetmask Honestly, I think I've restored a backup twice on purpose in all those years (To move to a new system) 😅

     @badnetmask I can't tell you how many times I've tried to fix something only to have a <facepalm> moment when I remembered I have a backup.

     I run daily backups, but for the more "finicky" things I'm considering increasing to hourly. 🙄

     @badnetmask My proxmox backup strategy (FWIW)

     I have two prune strategies.
     1 of them is to keep for a month but have 1 monthly 4 weekly 7 daily and 24 hourly
     1 is to just keep the last backup

     then I have three backup jobs
     * Daily sends to ‘keep last' (this is more for OMG did I just screw that up?”
     * every 2 hours (machines that change all the time, databases, etc..)
     * every 6 hours (machines that change throughout the day, but I don't need the granularity.

     I don't backup on the OS level, I do it on the app/data level, but I do get the point. In any case, this is A LOT of historical data to be kept. 😄
