Yep, just because you didn't do what I did, doesn't mean that backup
testing doesn't get done.  It's just an uncommon practice, that's all, but
it's nice to know you have a good backup in case you -really- need it.

In any case, if one keeps experiencing bad backups, I'd take a look at your
backup process or your media to see what's causing that.

Later,
