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.
