We're lucky. We don't have a true data warehouse so to provide reporting capabilities without impacting the OLTP we restore nightly the backups into the DW. The big thing missing though is the TLog and tape copies. The one time I tried to test the tape copies the tape was found to be corrupted!!!! I now just need to convince the system admin team (owners of the tape backups) that they need to put in place testing of the tapes. They say they have no room to test the recovery, I say a backup that cannot be recovered is not a backup. Discussions (arguments) continue ...
