The backup worked but missed the real data

The backup worked but missed the real data · Proposed air date:

A server-upgrade client had duplicate backups that had been checked and were functioning, yet the live information the business actually needed resided somewhere else among old versions and was omitted. Dr. Dave turns the incident into a management lesson: know which data is current, document where it lives and verify that the backup protects that material rather than merely producing a successful report.
