Regularly testing backups helps verify that the backups can be successfully restored, ensuring data integrity and preparedness for potential data loss. Testing confirms that the backed-up data is complete and usable, which is vital for responding effectively to incidents requiring data recovery.
Other practices like merely maintaining a schedule without testing don't guarantee successful recovery.
