We all know that businesses need to backup their data in case of disaster (human or natural). The number of businesses who do not have any form of backup or data recovery in place is still surprising however that is another matter.
For those businesses with backups in place best practice would be to test the integrity of these backups and their ability to assist with disaster mitigation. This goes beyond simply checking that the appropriate systems report a backup has been completed.
Checking that the backup actually contains usable data and that it is the data you are expecting to be backed up is the next crucial step. For a thorough test of the integrity an attempt to restore some data should be conducted and then assessed for validity.
