With the discussion about backups, I would like to raise a question I have had for some time. Having backups does no good if you cannot restore them. Files are rather easy to test. But how do you test restoring a database? I back it up with the usual tool. I have the docs to do the restore. But how to test to make sure that restoring works, without clobbering the active database? Thank you -- Stephen
