Had a day last week where everything just clicked in place

I was working on a server migration for a small law firm in Nashville and the RAID array started throwing errors halfway through. Usually that means I'm in for a long night of recovery and praying nothing is lost. But I had this old backup from 3 days ago that I almost deleted because the drive was taking up space. It restored perfectly in about 2 hours and the client never even knew there was a hiccup. The kicker was they had me come back the next day and offered me a retainer on the spot. Has anyone else had a backup come through when you least expect it?

Learned that lesson the hard way, now I never delete anything until the new setup is solid for a week.

Man that feeling when a backup actually saves you is the BEST.

Save that backup drive like a holy relic @jamie804. That thing just paid your mortgage for a month.
