Glad to hear it.

> However, a colleague had suggested such a creative approach (Possibly, less administrative overhead, ease of
maintenance?I'm not sure) and I struggled to find any evidence online in blogs/white-papers/documentation that this was
afeasible approach. That said, I couldn't find any info rejecting it as a method either, which led me to post here.
Essentially,this was a difference of opinion on approach, and I was looking to gather information in order to make an
informedopposing argument.
 

I'd strongly suggest considering tried-and-true approachs instead of
coming up with something novel, particularly when it comes to backups
and recovery.

Thanks!
