Glad to hear it.

I'm not sure) and I struggled to find any evidence online in blogs/white-papers/documentation that this was a feasible approach. That said, I couldn't find any info rejecting it as a method either, which led me to post here. Essentially, this was a difference of opinion on approach, and I was looking to gather information in order to make an informed opposing argument.

I'd strongly suggest considering tried-and-true approachs instead of
coming up with something novel, particularly when it comes to backups
and recovery.

Thanks!
