I see that some users do test restores periodically. I have done that
a few times but not as often as I want. I also make sure that the most
important data is backed up more than 1 time. In the past I did that
to 2 different media types but now since my dataset has grown and the
DLT tape drives are not working reliably I use the same LTO2
autochanger. When I get some money in the budget I am thinking of
adding an LTO5 (or by then LTO6) tape drive to make these alternate
backups.
