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
