Two routes for backups: the complete picture

There is plenty written about two routes for backups and little you can act on. This piece stays concrete: every action can be done beside the living room TV, every adjustment has a way to judge it, and the failure cases are included rather than hidden.

Put two routes for backups back into a real week, with overtime, travel and days you cannot be bothered. Any plan that only survives good months will not last three. This one assumes something will go wrong.

Anyone who has spent time on two routes for backups has a failure story: a strong start, a collapse in the middle, then silence. This is not another attempt to motivate you; it is a repair of the part that broke.

The Hard Part of two routes for backups

two routes for backups compounds, which means early flatness is part of the design rather than proof of failure. Understand that and you will not quit in week three, and so you will not miss the backups that survive a power cut that starts showing in week six.
