You're very welcome! 😊 Glad it helped.
And great follow-up — yes, it’s definitely a good idea to verify the next backup job before fully relying on it. Here’s what I’d recommend:
✅ Run a manual backup job after enabling binlog, just to make sure it completes successfully.
🧪 Do a test restore (even to a temp environment) to check that the backup file is valid, the data is intact, and the MySQL instance boots and behaves normally.
📋 Also, double-check the job logs and notifications to confirm no hidden warnings.
Think of it as a mini “recovery drill” — better safe than sorry! 😄
Let me know how it goes or if you need help interpreting the logs.
