I just pulled a GitLab on a production database. Total downtime: 15 minutes Total data loss: one hashed password field. Our backups work.

Of note: our DB backups *did* break after this incident, in exactly the same way they'd broken for GitLab. And that's the very first thing I checked after production was back up: do the backups still work? Don't forget to test your backups after a restore!
