I’ve been running this blog on Hugo for a long time, and like most blogs with real history, it’s accumulated some tech debt. Some of it is my own fault. This blog started on WordPress, where it ran for seven years, and I migrated it to Hugo back in 2021. That migration exported those seven years of posts straight from WordPress’s database into raw Markdown, HTML tags, inline styles, and all. I am not a good HTML programmer, and it showed. Broken tags, stray   entities, image markup that only sort of worked, all of it scattered across dozens of WordPress migrated posts.

Here’s the scenario: one of my SQL Server instances migrated to the DR array. The VM moved, the old volumes were destroyed, and nobody created a Protection Group on the destination. There were no alerts. Nothing failed. The DR environment just quietly had no data protection. No snapshots, no replication. We’d have had no idea until we needed to recover. Ok, well this was in my lab, but this could really happen in the real world.
