If something is wrong with your backup or restore procedures, then required files may not be backed up and restored, so it is wise to do a test full backup & restore to fully prove your procedures are working correctly.

== Some notes ==

Some things to keep in mind when using SME-Server backup:
 +
 +
=== Backup file slices are NOT autonomous ===
 +
The catalogue of the contents of the backup is put in the last slice. If for some reason the last slice can not be written (e.g. backup medium is full or network failure), is lost or corrupt, the slices already saved are useless.
