Yet another bitcoin website dies a preventable death

Anyone else just go out and do a dry run of their DB backup?

HTML5 looked interesting 7 years ago, now...it feels dated, because technology is improving every day.

Satoshi gives us trust-less money that does not require banking. Then a million people take their bitcoin to the first thing that looks like a bank. 

This is something that I very much don't understand. One of the benefits of bitcoin is that you do not need to trust others to "hold" and keep safe your bitcoin as you can easily do this yourself. There is no third party necessary to trust your money with, but your money is secured by the network. Despite this there are so many people that entrust their hard earned money to others.

Backups are all well and good, but you need to remember to test restores!

You are right of coarse, that is what I meant.  When I do a dry run it is for the entire backup cycle.  Testing bits of your backup procedures does not count (in my opinion).
