Backups are a great thing to have when you work in tech, but what happens if the tech is the very thing that fails when you need it most? In this episode, I discuss my thoughts on why having manual processes included in your backup plan might not be such a bad idea after all. Along with that, I go into a very brief game plan of how you might implement this backup strategy and examples of when technology has failed and might have saved a lot of us some headaches if there were a manual process that could've been used in its place.
