I guess I have a question about this. The first thing is to insure that it is being backed up. Is part of that insurance proof that the backup that is being cerated using the backup plan is usable, available, and secure? Or is just knowing there is a plan in place enough?

You might think this is totally stupid, but there have been times when a backup plan was in place and the output of the process was unusable. It is nice to be able to prove the backup by a valid restore or recovery process, and should be required as part of a business disaster recovery and resumption plan.

I am probably being too picky. But it caused me to think as I read this.
