That post seems to be missing.

I find it genuinely bleak that we've got to a situation where someone would ask an LLM for something as fundamental as this. You could write a script that is considerably shorter, and vastly more reliable, than that prompt to get the same results. You could add the backup jobs to your monitoring system. You could actually test your backups. Regularly.

...than that prompt to get the same results...

I am sorry, but I am not sure about the same results. At all.
In case of scripts, yet - your program will always work the same it is supposed to.
In LLMs? You never know. The main idea behind it is "feedback", and each next iteration may not match the previous.

Or you could, idk, have some metrics. That's a wild idea, of course. Who uses monitoring when you can just ask an LLM?

- Human - But I see lxc-204 was backed-up on 2026-05-19 in the logs.
- LLM - You have a sharp eye! This was my mistake, I am sorry. There's indeed a record that it was backed-up. Now, take another look!

If you’re using AI to validate your backups, do you really have backups?
