Learned the hard way that an untested backup is a Schrödinger backup.

Staging is just a subdomain plus a database copy — nothing fancy, works fine.

Moving from shared hosting to a VPS was the best decision for my sites.

Would love to hear how you all handle this.

I did a bit of searching but could not find a recent thread on this, so here we go.

A simple rsync cron is my entire backup strategy and I sleep fine.

Test restores monthly — it has saved me twice now.

Could not agree more.

Bumping this because I ran into the same thing today.

Free CDN tier is more than enough for a forum.
