I see that some users do test restores periodically. I have done that a few times but not as often as I want. I also make sure that the most important data is backed up more than 1 time. In the past I did that to 2 different media types but now since my dataset has grown and the DLT tape drives are not working reliably I use the same LTO2 autochanger. When I get some money in the budget I am thinking of adding an LTO5 (or by then LTO6) tape drive to make these alternate backups.
