In addition to making sure it works, you should make sure you know how to deal with restoring. Sure running a command is easy but what about spinning up new infra? What if it’s corrupted? What if the one person that knows the setup is gone or asleep? Mainly a problem for smaller teams that don’t have the redundancy or resources - they really need to make sure there’s at least docs on how stuff was setup. Reminds me I need to do my yearly checkup too.
