How do you check?
rm -rf /(don't actually do this obv)
Here, you dropped this.
--no-preserve-root
Its OK, root was preserved
Restore a backup and make sure everything is where you left it.
yep! restore a lxc on the backup machine and shut down the main one for a second
Thats good. So many places I see just accept that backup job completed without errors means backups are ok.
You reapply/ reload database and do all the recovery procedure on a clean new installation for everything. Disaster recovery is much a thing together with backup. Depends on your infra how to proceed in concrete steps.
