Soooo, how many times have you been bitten by Schrodingers Backup?
This is the backup where it all appears to go swimmingly and all is well in the world. Right up until the moment you want to use it and its either corrupt not the right data, or some other unforseen issue.

Moral of the story: Test your backups. You don't want to find out
they don't work in the middle of a crisis.
I have not had backup corruption because I check the consistency of the backup data every now and then.
