How are teams actually verifying that backups are recoverable?
Curious how teams here handle backup verification.
Most backup systems tell us whether a backup completed successfully, but that doesn't necessarily prove the restore will work when needed.
For production environments:
- How often do you perform restore testing?
- Is it automated or manual?
- Have you ever discovered a backup issue only during a real recovery?
Interested in learning what practices are common today.
