For most GP's the cost of buying a standalone PC to test backups is not that great. Buying one will last many years as all it will have on is an OS, your medical software. Nothing else.

I really don't want to think about the security and privacy hazards associated with restoring a database chock full of highly confidential, fully identified patient medical data onto a teenager's home PC... Or any home PC, for that matter, given that the degree of physical, anti-virus/anti-trojan and firewall protection afforded to home PCs rarely meets the standard required for general practice computer networks. Does anyone else see a problem with what Cedric is suggesting?
