Buy an extra computer that is blank and periodically restore your back ups into the extra computer.

  On similar lines, I like to reformat every year or so at least. It forces a backup test.

    Its not a test if failling it results in lost data.

      Sure it is. Plenty of companies test load balancing by temporarily shutting off power to one of their data centers and seeing if anyone notices. It's just that usually they can turn the power back on if something does go wrong, but you won't have many recovery options if you blank your only bootable drive. So do use a spare.
