    why would I need to verify anything?
    OS craps out? fine. reinstall, git clone, a couple of rsyncs, and I'm done.

    gitlab is backed up.
    cluster home directory is backed up.
    cluster data is backed up to tape, I verify that it works every time the daemon clears up my scratch folder.
    personal pictures are cloned on a bunch of external drives and the NAS.

    but the mission-critical stuff is just text files.
