RE: testing recovery

We do a RESTORE VALIDATE in RMAN which doesn't actually restore anything but is supposed to tell you if your backup is good or not.

Subject: testing recovery

Ok, we just got hit with a "Are you testing your backups?" from senior administration. We sometimes use copies to replace test or dev but they want a scheduled plan. The first thing I mentioned was do you have enough space(some db's are over a 1T)? Do you have matching hardware sitting around that I can drop my db's onto? Licensing $$$$? What do you as a community do to satisfy or comply with this? ciao,
Brian
