You should be doing practice DR's. Grab a PC and do them. This gives you the chance to see how long a restore would take, how to do one, and to make sure the data on the tapes is good.

Could we say that if the backup is more than 5 hours, it could make things more difficult for the restore (downtime). Example you restore during 7 hours to see that something went wrong. You lost 7 hours. I never had to do a disaster recovery yet, most of the time, does it take the same time approx as the backup time to restore?
