A backup nobody has restored from is a guess. We run backups on a schedule, test the restores, and keep a copy isolated enough that ransomware cannot reach it along with everything else.
The question that matters is not whether you have backups. It is how much work you would lose and how long you would be down. Those two numbers drive the design, and we agree them with you before anything is configured.
The restore is the product
Backup software rarely fails loudly. It fails quietly, months before anyone notices, and the discovery happens on the worst possible day. That is why the test restore matters more than the backup schedule.
We restore real data on a set cycle and record the result. If a job has been silently failing, we find out in a routine test rather than during an incident. You also get the two numbers that actually matter: how far back you can go, and how long a full recovery takes.
What backup and disaster recovery covers.
