After reading a great post:

http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/726308-why-testing-a-backup-solution-is-just-as-important-as-h...

I really started thinking. Herr Director said that he tested 1 random file a week, 1 random folder a quarter, and one drive a year. I usually just test random files at random, but I really need to get a better system implemented. Just wondering what other spiceheads do for testing?

1. how often?

2. what do you test (files, folders, drives)?

3. what process do you use? Do you restore to a different place, or copy original to different place and then restore to original place?

4.Any other parts of testing that I am not even thinking of?
