We do a full system save periodically on a weekly basis. I believe this is a backup that we could boot from and do a bare metal restore. My question is... how can we verify/validate the tape to be sure it's good for that purpose?

My thinking was... perhaps we could boot off of it... and just not take the step to actually do the restore.
