I recently changed my hosting provider and wanted to install the new server from the backups I've been creating daily for the last four years. Well, it turned out the backup process got stuck on a lock file in July, 2021. And the email process that should have notified me was broken too. I was so happy I didn't find this out in an emergency and spent more time testing the email notification this time.
