Even more paranoia: just because you get a zero return code from a backup, doesn't mean you have a good backup. Example : newbie ran an ADRDSSU on a mounted USS. How often should you restore a backup to validate it? Just before it's really needed, hopefully, like a real disaster.

Right after I made a mistake when a target dataset went B37 and I had to copy ist. HLQ not in ACS as non-SMS, so I got confused and ended up copying the wrong data set. Applied changes lost. I restored the full environment (DLIB vol/target vol(s)/SMPE data sets) and reran the accept, then the apply with the enlarged data set. All was well again.
