Here's the restore checklist I promised, short version:

  • Stop cron jobs and the queue worker first
  • Restore the database, then check row counts on a few key tables
  • Restore uploads and fix file permissions
  • Clear the cache and log in as a regular test member, not as admin

Add your own steps in the comments and I'll fold them in.

    • See older comments...

    • And write down how long each step took. The next time something breaks for real, you'll know whether you're looking at ten minutes or a whole afternoon.

      • Last one, I promise: keep the checklist somewhere other than the server you're restoring.

        Friday shout-out to everyone who answered newcomers in the Welcome Lounge this week. Most first posts got a reply within the hour, and that does more for this place than any feature I could ship.
