Imagine how many companies out there are relying on backups that are already corrupted... is your company one of them?

  This is an important reason why testing your backups is a critical part of backing up.

    It can be a very subtle issue, though. How would you recommend testing backups for rare corruption? Especially when live data is changing. With this I had used a backup and nobody even noticed the problem for three weeks, thankfully I had some more direct backups too...

    This is oft-repeated advice, but, in this context, it ends up being little more than a platitude. Since the complaint here is of corruption that is silent, the level of testing required to catch it would be extraordinary.
