#3I think having a day for a whole year is a bit sparse. Some startups start and shutdown within a year. Apart from checking backups after any big code change related to backups, I think backups should be checked quarterly.
It takes no more than couple hours most of the time, and as our wise said, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"

Oh wow, some interesting stuff in here. Looks like they use MySQL as a queue for scheduling the ORC Peons? Would have loved to hear more about why they did that.

Heh, "Don't be an April Fool" reminded me of the old annual "Internet Spring Cleaning" [0] ritual.

I think that once a quarter is better, but if your start up shuts down at the end of the year, you probably don't need to worry about it
