You're an idiot.

You likely could not even list five of the most common causes that
require the need for a restore.

Nor, it appears, that you cannot grasp the fact that the backup was
done before such a need arose.

They are sequenced, dipshit. One week's backups go on a set of
drives. The following week goes onto another set of drives. The week
following that (week 3 ) goes on week one's drives.

You could be a bit more clueless, just not in this life.
