A client sends me an email:
"Do you remember that internal backup server you set up a few years ago? Could you log in and check if everything’s okay? I’m not seeing any errors, but I’m not sure if it’s actually working properly".
I have a vague memory of it - I’m guessing “a few years ago” is quite a high number.
They send me the credentials and I log in:
08:46:41 up 2957 days, 18:01, 1 user, load average: 7.09, 2.34, 1.50
And, surprisingly, no errors.
Everything is working correctly, backups are present, and the disks show no issues whatsoever.
Debian.
Boot date: 14/04/2017.
Impressive.
