You don't need DR scenarios to test backups. Rman validate backupset could satisfy some requirements. I also have a dummy tablespace that I drop and restore to test backups.

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
