The two are related. If recovery has never been properly tested, you don't know if
your backups (veritas, rman, ksh/sql scripts) are working. Period. End of story. I've
encountered enough software/hardware problems to not trust that an 'error free' backup
will be recoverable.
If the database is not being taken down, or tablespaces are not being put into backup
mode, or RMAN is not being used, I'd suspect that none of the backups are recoverable.
