    Testing the Backup - How often?

    I've been charged with writing a Disaster Recovery Plan.  How often do you test your Raiser's Edge backup?  (Please don't answer if it's 'Never'!)

    Hi Judy,

    I would suggest that you test your backups once a week, if you have the resources.  I have seen too many lost databases because users thought their database was being backed up when it was actually failing for one reason or another.

    I discuss this in more detail in my blog posts about about Backups and Recovery,  Part 2 is specifically about testing.
