The problem

A green backup status does not prove the business can recover.

Recommended approach

Perform scheduled test restores of representative files and at least one critical application dataset.

Step-by-step checklist

  1. Select a test set.
  2. Restore to a separate location.
  3. Verify file integrity and permissions.
  4. Record restore time.
  5. Update the recovery runbook if anything failed.
