## Source excerpt

PostgreSQL Conference US took place in New York City and I had the pleasure to be a speaker there. I presented there a talk about why You'd Better Have Tested Backups. The important bit is that backups are not interesting, recoveries are. Also the only way to make sure a backup is successful is to be able to use it for recovery.
