I just read a thread where a user could not restore a backup. This lead me to search for a method to verify a backup. I couldn't find any and wonder if there is a way to test that a backup could be used?
As an FYI, I ask because I use to work for a DB company who knew they had a problem with their backup utility but didn't let customers know. It only came to light when a major US bank had a catastrophic DB failure and found they could not use any of the backups to restore their DB.
A standard best practice for any backup strategy is to test it. If there is no way to test a LR backup, does anyone had steps for testing the backup by restoring to a new location so as not to disrupt existing catalogs?
Thanks
