That article does bring out good points. Not enough people have a good backup strategy, but even fewer test backups for recovery. I remember when testing for Shadowprotect, almost all of their regular testers were corporate and they tested the backups, but none of them tested recovery, and there occasionally were bugs that were bad. From that experience I learned one thing. All the efforts to simulate recovery such as viboot, were better then nothing, but that there was only one guaranteed way to know you could recover, and that was to do it.
