My view is that restores are the most important skill and task that need to be performed on a database. Since restores require backups, I'd then rank backups as a 1a important task. They're a dependency and necessity to ensure that we can restore data. Having a set of the data, in a transactionally consistent state just feels critically important to me, over everything else.. I saw this new feature from Amazon Aurora for their MySQL compatible database. You can use Backtrack to rewind your database to a previous point in time. On one hand that's an amazing feature. Make a mistake, have an error, click a few buttons and get the database restored back to the minute (or second) when you made a mistake. On the other hand, if you delete a table, do you want to roll all tables back to that point in time? Read the rest of Pause and Backtrack
